access restriction...

I am trying to setup a policy where a site is banned from being used on
my network...
I go to the wrt54G access restrictions and try to block the web site 24
/ 7
However when I select deny access the field where one enters the url is
disabled.
I enable it and fill in the field then disable it... but it doesn't
work.

WRT54GL
Firmware Version: v4.30.5

At the bottom part of the page, you'll see sections to block by:
service
URL
keyword
Note that none of these allow blocking by IP address. Service is by
the IP port number. For example, port 25 would be SMTP. Port 110
would be POP3. And so on. URL and keyword should be obvious.

Looking through the menus, there does not appear to be any way to
block by IP address block. However, you can misdirect everything in
whatever your trying to block using static routes. I can't read what
you're trying to do as 24/7 is not standard CIDR notation. However,
if you want to misdirect all of 24.0.0.0/8, then go to:

and configure it to send everything in 24.0.0.0 with a mask of
255.255.255.0 to 127.0.0.1 which means that it does nowhere. I'm too
lazy to try it, but I think it should work.
