Hi Lee,

thanks a lot for your tips - It works now fine! - But I am wondering,  
why all clients until now were able to connect via http and https to  
the internet only with passtrough by mac-address...?
NOW as I put in the first IP in allowed IP-Addresses I had also to put  
other addresses to make them work again, since they were now suddenly  
blocked... - strange behaviour -...

But as I see, security is not really easy to realize - there is a lot  
stuff to know...;-(
