Allow internet connectivity but prevent network access
I have a wireless network setup at work which also gives internet
access to everybody connected. The OS on these machines ranges from win98 to XP. There are some computers that I want to prevent from seeing or accessing the other computers but still allow internet connectivity. What would be the simplest way of accomplishing this. Is there something I can do in the wireless router settings? jared@commspeed.net |

Re: Allow internet connectivity but prevent network access
What make/model of wireless equipment do you use? This question might
be better directed to a newsgroup which specializes in the administration of your particular wireless equipment. However, depending on the vendor, you might be able to enable an access control list so clients can only communicate with the gateway. On Cisco switches 'switchport protected' could also be useful if you have more than one wireless access point. wrote: > I have a wireless network setup at work which also gives internet > access to everybody connected.

Re: Allow internet connectivity but prevent network access
Hi
Give all the computers static IP ,and ban the None sharing computers by installing Software Firewall on the sharing computers. Most software Firewall let use the Trusted Zone to control LAN traffic. Or get a second Router, and segregate the public computers from the private ones.

to with mine, and they helped me. JH <> wrote in message news: oups.com... >I have a wireless network setup at work which also gives internet > access to everybody connected.
