Block Access to Services and Applications
Services are functions that servers perform at the request of client devices. For example,
web servers serve web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game hosts
serve data about the moves of the players.
When a device on the Internet sends a request for service to a server, the requested service
is identified by a service or port number. (For this reason, service blocking is also referred to
as port filtering.) The service or port number appears as the destination port number in the
transmitted IP packets. For example, a packet that is sent with the destination port number 80
is an HTTP (web server) request.
The service numbers for many common protocols are defined by the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF at
) and published in
RFC1700, Assigned Numbers
.
Service numbers for other applications are typically chosen from the range 1024–65535 by

the authors of the application. Although the cable data gateway already holds a list of many
service port numbers, you are not limited to these choices.
You can block access to specific Internet services by devices on your network. This feature is
called service blocking or port filtering. The cable data gateway provides default (predefined)
services that you can select to block. You can also add a new service for blocking, but you
first must find out which port number or range of numbers the application uses. You can find
port number information by contacting the publisher of the application, by asking user groups
or newsgroups, or by searching the Internet.
Block a Default Service
You can set up blocking of specific services to occur continuously or according to a schedule.
To block a default service:
1.
On your computer, launch an Internet browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft
Internet Explorer.
2.
In the address field of your browser, enter
http://routerlogin.net
.
You are prompted to enter a user name and password.

Type
admin
for the user name and type your password.
If you did not yet personalize your password, type
