Block access to Xbox Live

I made a firewall rule (on a Sky Netgear Hub) to block port 3074 (outbound I think) but Xbox Live is still accessible. Is this because UPNP is enabled? Anyone know how to block Xbox Live on a router?

Xbox live uses:

Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
Port 80 (TCP)

Block them forwarding to the xbox

I don't know what IP address it will have, so it has to be a blanket ban. I of course can't ban port 80.

Cant you just block the xbox's web connection completely? I dont think the other services on the xbox will work without xbox live?

Give it a static ip.

Can you not block it for the Xbox MAC address

Or 53.
