    Blocking sites in router

    With my old 2Wire router, I could pretty much control everything my Son did on the internet, but it doesn't work very well on my line :( I had to get a Speedtouch and I think I have worked out how to block sites via the parental filter. The problem is I want to block access to World of Warcraft games servers, but can't find any addresses to add to my filter. Dowes anyone have any suggestions please?

    Thanks

    Don't have a Speedtouch to hand... but you could configure the firewall to block certain ports (those used by WoW).

    It lists the TCP ports that you will need to block using the firewall on the Speedtouch.

    Thanks Matt. Didn't get an email for this and only came back to ask another question on the end of this one. I managed to block it all by just putting the world of warcraft url into the user firewall. I can't now work out how to block one user totally from the www. There is a box that you tick to allow the user on the wlan. Untick it and 5 minutes later is has mysteriously ticked itself again. Wish my 2wire worked on this line :(
