    ONSITE:How to freaking turn off DirecTV internet????

    Appears the DTV is eating HUGE chunks of data on a customers ISP satellite plan. Having problems getting internet to NOT work. Still ahve to have it on the network, for control and the DTV clients.

    What setting am I missing? I tried changing DNS. That didnt work. Whats the trick?

    THis

    Set an address with a rule to deny it access to the MASQ of the firewall. Also turn of forwarding for it. The Box can still talk on the LAN. But packets to the WAN could be dumped before it costs you an Megs.

    THis Right here.

    Or you could remove the gateway from the DirecTV IP address.

    chain=forward action=drop src-address=192.168.0.173
