Hello Windows Pundits,

Is it possible to configure some PCs on a network (not on a domain) to be
blocked from Internet access (in both directions) and allow other PCs full
access to the Internet, while allowing full Intranet access to all connected
PCs? Basically, I'd like to block all Internet access on three of the six
PCs on the same network and workgroup, while allowing all the PCs access to
all the files on all the other PCs.

The network has both Win2K Sp4 and XP Pro Sp2 mchines on it, has a 7-port
DSL DLink router and at least one wireless access point (also DLink).

TIA,

- Geoff

Change the Default Gateway and the DNS address on
the blocked machines so that they no longer point
at your router.

And make sure the users don't have the rights to change them back.
