Virgin Superhub Block Help...

Hi

I have a WDTV media player and the latest firmware causes me sync issues, rolling back to the previous it works fine. Problem is, everytime I use my WDTV now I keep getting presented with annoying messages about new firmware being available.

Someone has suggested blocking support.wdc.com ip address 129.253.55.56 and blocking the port 80

How do I do this in the Virgin Superhub? I initially went to try in "Port Blocking" but there doesnt appear to be the correct fields to allow me to enter the above info. For example, I'm forced to block IPs only beginning with 192.168.0

Help anyone?

Not entirely sure as I've never tried to block anything on my superhub, but you could try enter the IP into the domain blocking area? I imagine it should work all the same. It should be this link for you (assuming dhcp is default): http://192.168.0.1/VmRgDomainBlocking.asp

Works a treat mate, thank you!

Isn't there a a setting in the WD setup for manual only firmware update?
