The first part of your mail message is, in no way, a Linux topic. It's
like asking an oil refinery for car maintenance tips because you use
their fuel.

Seeing as you can recall it being on the list, perhaps browsing through
the fully-searchable archives would be an advisable "self-help" method.

Err.. Of the top of my head:

# iptables -A FORWARD -d 203.161.193.78 -j DROP

That should do it, but you may need to experiment a little if it doesn't
do the trick -- it's been a while since I've had to use iptables. Of
course, a little time spent looking at the manpage will tell you
everything you need to know, albiet in a bit of a confusing manner at
times.

The beta version of the new Google toolbar has a popup-blocking feature
built into it. I'm not sure if it'll help in your situation, but it may
be worth looking into in any case. See http://toolbar.google.com/
