So if I understand this if I put his IP in and then for example port 80-100 it would only block his ports and not other users ports as there are 2 other computers using the routers ethernet ports?

Not fully up on networking but for example say if he connected through port 80 and I put 80-100 if he changed his ports to say 101 it would then connect to the net again? He wouldn't know how to do this but its just an example of my way of trying to understand?

re-reading the post I think I know what you mean so as long as his IP stays static then I assume I can use port 80 and it wouldn't affect any of the other pc's connected to the router?
