I would be truly grateful if someone could help me. can't help you with the C code aspect of it, but if at some point you get to the part where you need the actual iptables command to block forwarding of a packet by MAC address, it's: iptables -A FORWARD -m mac --mac-source $MACADDR -j DROP where $MACADDR is in XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX form. -j -- Jason Opperisano <opie@xxxxxxxxxxx>
