closing port 80 on D-link 604+

Hi,

I'm hoping somebody can help me to close port 80 on my D-link 604+ router.
Basically on the "advanced filtering and firewall" menu I have created a new
rule but am unable to figure out what I need to enter into the various
boxes. I obviously know that I need to close port 80 and that the protocol
is TCP but I'm unsure what I need to put for source and destination IP and
subnet mask boxes. If there are any guides on how to configure the 604+ I
would really appreciate links to them!

The d-link 604 manual is both out of date and doesn't provide anything other
than very basic information. And yes, I have googled but can't find
anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

For incoming or outbound traffic?

Do you mean DI-614+ ? I'm not aware of a DI-604+ and I can't find any
reference to it on the D-Link site or Google.

No. I have a D-link DSL 604+ wireless ADSL/modem router.

Incoming. I've just got the router and a quick scan using the symantec port
scanner appears to show that port 80 is open (along with 22 but I'm not so
worried about that). I'm not running a web server so have no real need for
it to be open.

It's actually not that urgent as I will be getting one of the IT Security
Consultants at work to run a full pen test against my ip when I return to
work and I'm sure there will be other things that I need to sort out :-)

What firmware version are you running?

Those are the admin ports - you have to be able to access them from the
LAN in order to control the router. Unless you have told it to allow
remote admin they won't be accessible from the WAN.
If you were running a web server you would have to set up port
redirection for the router to forward its WAN port 80 to the server on
your LAN.
