Is it possible to block websites on a specific computer on a wi-fi network? - D - 11-09-2012 11:51 PM

My sister has been posting nasty things about me on Facebook and I want to block her access to Facebook without her knowing - i.e. make her think it's just down temporarily.

I tried to do it on the router but it blocks it for me as well.

I have Trend Micro Internet Security PRO.

How do I do this?

It depends on the type of wi-fi router you use. I know that Linksys and Netgear routers do let you block specific computers (based on their MAC addresses) from reaching specific websites. Check your router's configuration manual.

Why don't you say something like: Knock it off, or I will start posting about YOU!

That should make her think about it.

Without loading software on her computer, you may be stuck. Since both of you are wireless, you cannot block a site in the router without blocking everyone, at least with the router you have.
Or, contact Facebook, and complain about a user saying bad things about you, see if they can block or disable her access....
