This may be a stupid question.

But at work here we have one computer where they use to write cnc codes on. And I half to have it pluged into the network so it can use the network printer and Access networked files. So the simple solution of unpluging it from the network dont work. But some of the guys(not sure which yet) keep getting on bad sights and getting spyware and frankly im tried of fixing it.

So what I want to do is be able to stick a password on the internet so they can still be on the network and not have access to the net. For awhile i just stuck a proxy address in there of blank and they couldnt figure it out. But i guess they have now.

If i was the boss id just fire the guys but then id prolly half to hire more guys. But im not and the boss dont want to get on them about it. So i just need to find a way to keep them off the net.

I realy dont feel like buying any xtra software because it would half to come out of my pocket. so anyways what im looking for is a day to disable the internet and still have the computer to be able to access files that are stored on the network and a printer.

I got Ethernet Based network connected to DSL. The box im tring to block from the net is a windows 98 SE computer. All the other computers on the network are Windows XP Pro. Let me know what you guys think. Everthing i know about networks is pretty much self tought so who knows this might be a easy fix. Hopefuly it will be. :-)

Thanks,
