If you were to switch your hub for a Linksys four or eight port switch,
it has all the required port blocking features accessible via a built in
webpage. Very easy to use.

|
|Currently the users are on DHCP and I dont see any problem with this.
|
|Under the Services Tab there are the following options, Names, NAPT,
|Firewall and Filter.
|
|The Firewall and Filter options have nothing in them to edit/modify so I

|VCCI option for pinholes which I dont really think can do much. But the
|first one, Names, has about 8 predefined ports and I think you can add other
|ones, but no option for blocking ports. - I whould have thought only the
|ports listed here whould work behind the firewall, but it doesnt seem like
|the case.
|
|Thinking that, yeh the best was is to install a proxy server of some sort
