I'll have a go, but I've only got the manual to work from so I'll be
making a few assumptions.
In the web admin window, go to "Advanced Filtering and Firewall".
Select "Enabled" in the "IP Filter" box at the bottom. Click on a
number to select a rule set. In the "Set Comments" box enter something
like "No Internet", then click "OK" to save.
Select the first rule, call it something like "Allow local", enter
"192.168.0.2" in the Source IP box
"255.255.255.255 /32" in the Source Netmask Box
"Out" in the "Direction" box
"All" in the "Protocol" box
"Pass immediately" in the "Pass or Block" box
"192.168.0.0" in the Destination IP Address
"255.255.255.0 /24" in the Destination Subnet Mask
Click "OK" to enter the rule.
Now select the second rule, call it something like "Block internet",
enter
"192.168.0.2" in the Source IP box
"255.255.255.255" in the Source Netmask Box
"Out" in the "Direction" box
"All" in the "Protocol" box
"Block immediately" in the "Pass or Block" box
"0.0.0.0" in the Destination IP Address
"0.0.0.0 /0" in the Destination Subnet Mask
Click "OK" to enter the rule.
Click "OK" to get back to the main page.
It's unclear to me whether you have to "Save Changes" at this point, or
whether the rules will work already, so try some pings to see if the
filter is working okay. I'm guessing that it will work, and that you
only need to "Save Changes" to prevent loss of settings if the power
goes down. This should mean that if you screw up and you haven't saved
the changes, then switching the router off and on again will restore the
previous settings.
Let me know how you get on.
latest update -no success I'm afraid. The interface is slightly different on
my DSL504- there is no "direction" box, but there is a choice of
"ISP1/Ethernet"
very grateful for any further help....
although I think I'll give it a rest for a while as my eyes are sticking to
the screen.....

Just one thing - as it stands you've only blocked TCP. Is there an
"All" option in the protocol selection? If not you might want to add
rules for other protocols, at least UDP.
