Hi,
I have several laptops at home that connect via wireless connection tot he DIR_655.  Using the MAC address of those laptops, I want to prevent them from going to certain websites.

Under 'Advanced" and "Website Filter", I addes several domain names (websudoku.com for example).  I selected "DENY computersaccess to ONLY these sites".  I then saved settings.

I then went to "Access Control".  I clicked on "Enable Access Control".
I clicked on "Add Policy" to cdreate a new policy for one of the laptops.
Policy name
Schedule to apply "Always"
Address type "MAC", then I listed the MAC address of the laptop
Method: "Block Some Access"
clicked on "apply web filter"
Web Access Logging: "Enables"
Save
Save Settings

When I boot the laptop and go to one of the websites, it still allows me access.  The URL/domain name is correct.  What am I doing wrong?

try blocking without the .com.  just put in websudoko

Also, DNS Relay must be enabled for any web filters to work.

thanks.  Tried following your suggestions but still no luck.  Wonder if this is a "bug" in the software?

I got it to work!  Hardware version A4  Firmware Version 1.32NA

Here's the tweak you have to make (in addition to regular steps provided by Helpful Hints):

Setup-->Network Settings-->Router Settings-->Enable DNS Relay --CHECKED
Advanced-->QOS Engine-->QOS Engine Setup-->Dynamic Fragmentation--UNCHECKED
Advanced-->Website Filter-->Website URL/Domain-- 'yahoo' (just the word yahoo alone)

Refresh the router.

It should do the trick.
