    Doesn't selecting ALL destination addresses cover that?

    Do I have to explicitly specify my mac address in each rule that allows access from another mac address?

    Thanks!

    I put the remote mac in source and my mac in dest, but still no luck.
    The log shows all packets from that address still being blocked.

    Anyone have any ideas?
    Am I trying to do this correctly?

    Thanks!

    Here is the new rule, still not working.
    Thank you so much for the help.

    I would have thought adding a rule to allow all traffic from a certain computer would have been easier. :doubt:

    Yes, I added the IPs and it worked. :)

    Strangly enough, if I remove the IPs now it still works, and I set the field with my mac address back to all and it still works. o_O

    Don't know what to say other then, glad it is working and thanks for the help.
    :)
    Thanks again!

    (I'm sure most of this is me being new to the software, as it does seem quite high quality.)

    Hi,

    I suppose you wanted your PC to communicate with another machine having a specific MAC address.

    So this MAC address is destination for "PC>>Net" packet direction and is source for "Net>>PC" packet Direction. So the MAC address has to be set on the right side of the dialog box (in your initial post you put it on the left side which is wrong).
    For sure, it is possible to specify just the MAC address (and not the IP) to do what you want.

    Regards,

    Frederic
