"The
aforementioned SMC has access control based on the MAC address of the PC."
I don't want to provide access control by MAC. My current router does that. I want to be able to block some USERS, and allow other USERS on the same machine, accessing the network through the same interface. How do I do that?
"so you can get rid of the Sygate Personal Firewall."
I have never seen a router in the 2-digit price range which can provide OUTBOUND blocking with respect to unknown applications as well as a software firewall can. In addition, the software firewall should provide some protection from an attack from inside the network, by WiFi, for example.
Thanks.
David.
