Depending on your DHCP Server, you might just assign the addresses they have now (vendor may want specific addresses), or pull the addresses from your existing Reserved Address Pool.īlowing out the Default Gateway will do what you want, but that's very hard to set up for specific addresses in DHCP.
If I block the mac from the DHCP server it will not give the device an IP and will not allow the device to connect to the network drives correct?Īctually you'd have the DHCP server assign IP addresses to those PCs by MAC address, then block those IP addresses (in and out) at the edge firewall. The computers have all the same username on the domain for convenience for the workers.
#Mac block internet connection for a program software
These computers only have 1 function and that's to run the software for robots. Then just procure and use that solution for those particular machines. You can also put it back on the systems vendor and ask them what malware protection they have tested and certified with their workstation systems. Just using the Windows Firewall to block all incoming connection attempts, or going the extra step of disabling RPC services that allow a lot of incoming propagation of network viruses/worms, and disabling Internet access and you probably have less of a threat than a regular click happy office worker depending on edge and gateway malware protection. However, asĪdrian_ych has stated above this leaves the computer open the attacks from inside the network so I have a feeling I'm going to have to sit down and figure out exactly what ports the antivirus is blocking and just put the antivirus back on. The idea was that we cut off the internet to minimize the risk of infections because the antivirus is disabled because it interferes with the computer and machine connection. Okay, so the computers are running lab software with GE appliances.
