Install iptables. Ensure kernel has 'MAC filtering' enabled (its under networking filtering' Requires a 2.4 kernel IIRC. iptables -A FORWARD -p mac --mac-source XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -J DROP (that -p might have to be a -m) You might also want to do the above with -A INPUT Read the iptables docs for more information. I'm assuming you use ethernet here. Don't know how this would work with dial-up/DSL but this should get you started. Please note that MAC address can easily be spoofed.
