bllock access to an external IP on Belkin Vision N1 router.

Ok,

My son has been naughty so is now banned from Runescape.com .

I would prefer to block access from the router rather than just his machine.

With my old belkin router I would just telnet to the router and set up this by adding chains etc. I dont seem to be able to do this with the Vision N1.

Any suggestions or advice on how to do this.

Many thanks

It won't work well anyway - they'll likely have a couple of IP ranges, so you'll have to track them all down which is hardly worth the effort.

Ture but as my son is 11 and not particularly computer literate, being able to block the call for DNS resolution would most probably suffice.

It is only a two week ban so not so much time for him to dig around to get around it.

Cheers for the reply.
