WAG54GS Internet Access Policy

Any additional policies after the first enabled policy are ignored.
has anyone else encountered this? and/or have a solution?

I have looked into upgrading the firmware but I am running Firmware
Version: V1.00.08, and the latest firmware download from Linksys is
Version: V1.00.06

How about saying what the policy is? It could be that it actually is one
that rules out a lot of others. However, try doing a factory reset and
starting again.

I'm trying to block port ranges, but the ui for my Linksys
router/wirewall only allows 2 port range blocks per policy. So in order
to allow access through 25, 53, 80, 110 and 443 I have to apply blocks
for 1 to 24, 26 to 52 etc etc.

I tested the concept by setting policy 1 to block 80 and policy 2 to
block 110, but while policy 1 was enabled, policy 2 wasn't working and
I could send and receive mail. I swapped these examples around and
still only the first enabled policy is enforced.

I haven't tried a factory reset yet, so this will be my next test. Any
other sugestions?

Have you thought about doing it the opposite way around? Eg, put in a block
for ALL ports and then a rule to allow access to those ports you want open
after the block all rules port. Naturally, dont OK anything until all are in
place or you may lock yourself out.

Nice idea but my router/firewall only allows ports to be blocked. I
don't think it's a very smart ui and/or router/firewall combo

Can I just ask why? Are you wanting to block outgoing or incoming
comms on these ports?

I'm trying to blocking outgoing activity on everything bar the above
which I intened to review on an ongoing basis.

I'm trying to limit the ability of my childeren using P2P.

I understand that this only narrows their options and does not stopp
them completely.

A question here - does your ROUTER allow you to block by PROGRAM name? If so
it may be an easier way out.

Failing that, you could go look up ZoneCD and see if it is right for you. It
basically sets up wi-fi access just as places like Starbucks etc do and
directs you to a portal on the computer which is running it. You sign in via
a password and you can control each person's sign in ability, limiting them
to certain hours etc and you to anything. There are other - and better -
programs you can pay for that do better than it does but I mention it as it
is free AND it runs directly from CD meaning that if it crashes, it doesn't
affect your computer and while running, though it takes your computer over
entirely, it controls who accesses your wi-fi via what YOU want.

The router won't do this but you can block anything you want with a
software firewall such as Norton.
