I called Netgear and they said that feature is not available in any of
their routers... I couldn't find any reference to deny rules or
filtering IPs or MAC addresses in the documentation either

Those netgear cable sharing routers, have the ability to block MAC 
addresses. Just add the 2 machine's MAC addresses into the firewall 
rules to deny. Check the help file located on the router for a better 
description of how to do this.

I'm working with a small (10 user network) with a netgear FVS318
firewall, accessing the internet via cable modem.. The client wants to
block internet access at two workstations.  I don't see anything
available within the firewall documentation/configuration that would
address this.  What is the best and easiest way to do this ...easy and
best may be a contradiction :-)
