You could assign a static IP and set the default gateway to an address that doesn't exist. That way, the machine could communicate locally, but couldn't go out to the internet.

If the user is knowledgeable, obviously it would be easy to get around...but it is a simple and cheap solution.

Subject: block internet at two workstations

I'm working with a small (10 user network) with a netgear FVS318 firewall, accessing the internet via cable modem.. The client wants to block internet access at two workstations. I don't see anything available within the firewall documentation/configuration that would address this. What is the best and easiest way to do this ...easy and best may be a contradiction :-)  

TIA
Tim
