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

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!
