I'm using Sonic's default modem/router, a Pace 4111N-030. Is there any way to configure this so that one PC on my LAN has no internet access but can only communicate with the other devices on the LAN (which do have internet access)? I'm pretty sure this can be done with conventional routers like Linksys, Netgear, etc.

I hope this question is clear, and hasn't been asked too many times before. I couldn't find any previous threads.

As an alternative, is there a way to put the Pace modem in bridge mode?

Thanks in advance.

I don't believe there's a way to stop WAN connection on a single port.

For bridged mode: https://wiki.sonic.net/wiki/Pace_4111N#Bridge_mode

If you "trust" the device (as in, you don't need to worry about someone using this device undoing this change), you can configure that machine with an IP/netmask, and no gateway.
