    You mean block incoming or outgoing ports? To just one PC or all of them?

    Under the security section on the router, the same used for port forwarding. The procedure is the same, just add a new FW rule. Select the source (incoming), port number or range, type TCP/UDP, then say to block all. On some routers you have to forward to a non existing IP.
