Router -internet access question

[Guest]

Hi

I have a client server network with 6 of 10 clients blocked from the
internet using my linksys router to filter them off the internet thus
denying access. Now I want to install MS Sus that requires port 80 to do the
updating across the network. How can I achieve this on the linksys and still
block the internet access. Any ideas appreciated
thanks

Simple. Your "router" has no control over your internal network,
therefore setup SUSserver on one of the machines that has Internet
access, and then let the rest update from it.
For more information, go to http://www.susserver.com

That's a tough task and I wouldn't even attempt it. You should disable
the MAC filter for the computer and allow it to do the update and enable
the MAC filter when done, IMHO.
