Disable computer from LAN

Homer99 · 02-06-2007, 08:40 PM

i was wondering if anyone knows how to disable a computer from the LAN, but still access the internet. I am doing this because i am setting up a web server and i dont want this computer to have any interaction with my other computers. So basically, I have my main network where all the computers can talk to each other, but I want this computer out of it and not able to access anything within that network. The router I am using for this is a 2Wire 2700HG-E (Telus) if that helps at all. Thanks :D

create a DMZ (google for how to create a DMZ network)

or just use different IP Network range

I thought a DMZ allows everything and also how do you create a different IP network range on the same router.

If you really want to isolate the one computer from the others on the network, simply daisy chain two routers. Put the second router in the DMZ of the primary one, connect the web server to the primary router, and connect the other computers to the secondary router.
