Allow only Internet browsing

well I checked Netopias site and they don't show a R7200. they have the following in the R series:
2000,2020,3100-U,3100-UA,5100,5200,5300,5320,5320-XL,910,9100,9120-XL

anyways what your question??? after reading you question I kept wondering what your question was.

i am not sure you can do it with that router.
You you need to do is to allow only port 80 traffic.
I dont use my routers for that I use www.microsift.com/isa with which I can manage which users go online and using what protocol and when, etc etc.
you might want to try also whic has a lot of those features but is free.

To further discuss this and clarify for "D.R. The Corporate Groups" what my question was.
R7200 has two set of rules: Incoming traffic and Outgoing Traffic.
To set up the rule for outgoing is relatively simple: allow only port 80 for the destination port and rule would look like this.

OUTGOING:
Enabled: Yes
Forward: Yes
Source IP Address: 10.0.2.0 (LAN subnet)
Source IP Address Mask: 255.255.255.0 (only care about last octet which is node address)
Dest. IP Address: 0.0.0.0 (any address)
Dest. IP Address Mask: 0.0.0.0 (don't care to match)
Protocol Type: TCP
Source Port Compare: No Compare (don't care what it is)
Source Port ID: 0
Dest. Port Compare: Equal (must equal Port ID)
Dest. Port ID: 80
Established TCP Conns. Only: No

The problem for me is to set up the Incoming Rule that will only allow returns of web pages requests from LAN.
I tried allowing only those with Source Port ID set to 80 but it don't let any traffic in.
My understanding is that the web pages that come back to LAN could have dynamic ports as their Source Port ID - but I'm not sure about this as I'm not a security specialist.
So to cut a long story short, how do I block all traffic except returning web pages requested from LAN?

Another thought was to set the TCP ACK bit to Yes (last option in the rule):
The manual says about this: "The TCP header contains one bit called the ACK bit (or TCP Ack bit). This ACK bit appears only with TCP, not UDP. The ACK bit is part of the TCP mechanism that guarantees the delivery of data. The ACK bit is set
whenever one side of a connection has received data from the other side. Only the first TCP packet will not have
the ACK bit set; once the TCP connection is in place, the remainder of the TCP packets with have the ACK bit
set".
What they are saying here is that if I set the ACK bit to Yes, than only pages originated from the LAN will be allowed back in.
Suggestons, ideas? Thanks.

I think what you might need is a third party piece of hardware/software like Websense. I don't think port blocking and filtering are going to be the solution. Keep in mind that applications like IE, IM, and the sort are established on one port number, but then normally switch to different ports after that initial connection is made. For example, you connect to yahoo.com on yahoo.com's port 80 but you receive yahoo's data on your IP address using like port 25600. Make life simple and use a solution that's made for your problem. Although I've never used Websense, I have heard tale that it can do exactly what you want it to do and more. You could keep playing with the Netopia and maybe after a week or two get it working correctly, but that's time better spent doing something else.

Well I found the Netopia R7200 ADSL router under discontinued hardware. Still couldn't find and documents I could read about it's capabilities.

But, If your asking IT people here IF the packet filters you've created on your Netopias R7200 router will block ALL traffic on ALL 65000 ports except port 80, heck, it's anyones quess.

I'm with the other answers. Go with a software solution or another hardware solution.

When the browser requests a page it will use a source port greater than 1024, I do not know if you can create a filter to allow ports higher than 1024 for outbound going to port 80 and vice versa for inbound. All my exp is with Cisco. As for your sencond question about what apps use what port numbers I would recommend www.ietf.org and www.sans.org
