Topic: How to ban family members in the same network?

[noced]

Hi, I am using Wordpress(.org) 2.8.2 and my ISP is Starhub Cable Vision MaxOnline and it uses a transparent proxy. I have the following three IP addresses:

222.165.80.163  <- Provided by the plugin at the top of the Ban settings page
218.186.12.249 <- Found via google
192.168.0.107 <- DHCP allocation by router; router address is 192.168.0.1

I have set DHCP to always allocate .107 to my laptop. I want to ban every other internet-enabled machine in my house from viewing my blog. The example given in the plugin says:

Examples:
» 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.255

but inputting 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.255 does not work. Nothing gets banned. I cannot input 222.165.80.163 and/or 218.186.12.249 and/or hostname, yes I've tried, because EVERY machine on my network gets banned, including my own laptop. Is there a way to ban some machines under a network instead of banning the entire network?

Is there really no way to ban MAC addresses? Because I actually like that method more.

There is no way to ban machines on the same network using WP-BAN, you might want to look into your router config instead to see if it can restrict certain internal IP from visiting a certain site.
