I have a small wireless network with WEP enabled and just for interest
thought that I'd try my hand at Bridge Filtering. The requirement is a basic
one, I have two machines connected to the Modem/Router/WAP and I want to
have open access between the two machines via the WAP and to access to the
the net from both of them but want to further limit access to unknown MAC's.
It seems pretty simple, the documentation for this is basic to say the
least. However, whatever combinations I try trying to restrict access,
either it doesn't seem to restrict access by the other machine at all or I
lock out every machine (and have to reset the Router!).
The Bridge Filtering configurator has lines that can be filled in with:
Source MAC / Destination MAC / TYPE > [Block/Forward]
I can see how to Block & Forward 'known' MAC's but how do I block 'unknown'
MAC's?
Secondly how do I know my ethernet type?
These are probably easy questions, but I can't seem to get this working.
Could anybody give me a idea of what to do for this kind of input screen, or
point me in the direction of a page somewhere?
Thanks,
Alex
