Hi,

I want to set the proxy settings on 10 of my computers so no user can
access the Internet but I don't want to prevent the users from
accessing the Internet via other computers.  I would like to use GP
to set the Proxy to a bogus proxy, but my problem is if I set it on
the User container, the user will get the setting no matter what
computer.
Since the Proxy setting is per user, how do I get the setting to work
on just these 10 computers?

Put your 10 computers in a separate OU and enable the loopback mode in a GPO on that OU. Than the userconfiguration in this GPO take precedence over your normal userconfig. You should know, that setting a bogus proxy does not prevent a skilled user not to access the internet. Maybe you should consider looking into a proxy solutions with user authentification.
