On a router, how do I block wan access for a particular machine without blocking its access to the local network?

http://serverfault.com – On my tp-link TL-WR1043ND router I want to prevent a particular machine from having access to the WAN while still allowing that machine to access other machines on the LAN. My assumption is that I need to do something in the "Access Control" section, however the problem is that it wants an ip range or domain name for the target of the rule. The router uses DHCP to get an address from the WAN, so I don't have any guarantee what the ip address of the wan will be. If the answer is that it's not possible with this router, could someone describe how to do it using OpenWRT instead? (HowTos)

[ubuntu] Access to Router 41 weeks 2 days ago

I have a Dynex DX-WGRTR v1000 router which I use hardwired without the wireless turned on. Since my 12.04 clean install I have had internet since but recently when I went to access the router itself, I can't access it nor can I ping it. The access IP address for the router is 192.168.2.1 which was set by the manufacturer.

I just replaced my Win8 machine with Centos 6.3, and everything seems to be fine (everything I have tested so far), except DNS on my local network. I have forced my NIC to use my router as the DNS server (which in turn uses my ISP info for DNS lookups). I can get to this website, Yahoo, etc...

Is there any router setting that does the ssh domain forwarding? Currently I have one static IP and have multiple machine under it and I have multiple domains point to same IP and each domain dedicated to specific machine.

After some confirmation that I have thinking right in this scenario.

We have a number of wired and wireless machines which presently have direct internet access. I also have a Linux (Ubuntu) server which is used as a file server for the network.

Essentially I would like to be able to turn internet access on and off for machines.

My plan is to block these machines by MAC address at the router.

I'm not sure if I am going to describe this properly. I have a OSX Lion server(don't ask me why this was requested) linked to a domain (for examples sake server.domain.net).

Outside access is working as intended. However for local clients access to the domain causes errors as the domain points to the same network.

Hi, I'm relatively new to Linux and a bit embarassed to have to post what is possibly a really simple problem. I tried to setup a VPN connection to anonine using pptp, after trying to connect and failing I deleted the vpn connection. This seems to have interfered with my normal setup in that I no longer have access to the internet.

My son has a problem not getting a cosistant wifi signal in his bedroom so he uses another router wired to the gateway. The problem I have is that when I connect to the gateway his router issues me my IP address and I cannot access the internet.

I set up a xl2tpd vpn server on a router, and assigned the ip range from 192.168.191.2 to 192.168.191.244, and there's local network behind the router's lan side with a 192.168.1.0/24 ip range, so I want the vpn client access the router from its wan port, then it can communicate with the local network, so how can I got it?

I have a netgear WGR614 v8 and a Brother HL-2270DW wireless printer. Yesterday I flashed the router with DD-WRT firmware. now my printer will not connect. printer error page says "Connection : Failed (Error : TS-07) The machine cannot detect a WLAN access point/router that has WPS or AOSS enabled.
