Re: how to stop a user's internet access???


it is unclear if the problem you are having is a personal one or the
problem violates the official policy on the use of computer equipment;
keeping in mind that if the computer system was federally funded, then there
may be some other guidelines which permit the way
computers are being used now....

why was giving a free pass into the computer system as
an administrator considered in the first place.....?

one problem is that your network people are probably following a policy

ok, I've got a silly question. I work for a university and we have student
workers. We have a student worker computer that they do legitimate work
on. However, we've caught them spending a lot of time instant messaging as
well as lurking around myspace.com. How can I EASILY block internet access
while still allowing network access?

Currently their local accounts are set as local administrators which
obviously is part of the problem b/c it's allowing them to install items
like Instant Messenger. I'm assuming I need to change their account to
"restricted users" but what about blocking internet access?

Thanks!
