Re: Deny User internet access


There are lots of things that can be done.

Is this a one location office? You could just blank the default gateway. Or
put a bogus proxy setting in IE.

I don't know your network set up, but you can also use a bogus hosts file on
the system with entries like *.com 127.0.0.1 that would direct all the
requests for .coms back to the host itself.

Or use a software restriction that blocks IE from running.
Check this http://pcsupport.about.com/od/quicktips/qt/disableie.htm
Or

Or

What I find works the best and least intrusive: an IPsec filter on port 80
with a bogus shared key. Its an extremely sneaky and hard to detect block
and it kills all web site access.

This guy must be a diptard if he couldn't just type "disable IE" into
google.

Seriously, this kind of task should take no more than a half hour of time.

Now this diptard needs to reinstall the OS first, since IE isn't an actual
program, but an extension of explorer, which is the shell for the whole OS.

All,

Not sure if this is the correct newsgroup...

I am not the IT guy at my office, but I'm trying to help the guy because
he is a MORON! He also does not hold any type of certifications in the IT
field.

He has been tasked to remove internet access on a computer that is shared
by multiple users -- it's placed in a room set-up for common access, but
still requires to be connected to the LAN for shared file access
(EXCELL/ACCESS files).

I'm involving myself because last time I checked, he was manually trying
to remove IE and all of its components (told ya he was a dope). This has
become my problem because while he is consumed with this problem, 30 new
computers are sitting in his store room collecting dust (including mine).

Are there any "magic buttons" that an admin can press to disbable internet
access on this one machine?
