what i want is to disable internet connection in one of the computer in my network. so it would not be able to connect to internet.
I hope someone would help me with this.
Thank you very much.

Remove the Default Gateway and DNS Server addresses in the TCP/IP configuration. This will allow it to use the local network for file/print sharing, but not access the Internet.

Thank you johnwil, but that's the reguler way, and the user still can fill up the DNS setting. I want other way that only me can restrict the setting.Is it possible?
There are 10 PC in our network, every PC and also network devices have static IP.
I try to learn how to manage our local network and make restriction for some of PCs.
I hope i can learn in the forum.
Thank you very much for your concern.

Are the computers connecting to the internet via a router? If so you can configure your router to block internet access to that IP address.

If you have a central server or router, you may be able to restrict the access by MAC address or IP address at that choke point. If we knew more about the network topology, we could probably give you a better answer.

Thank you Krazyko & johnwill,
Yes, i have an ADSL2 Router D-Link. And every PC & network devices connect to Switch. Also has their own static IP.
Maybe, i'll try to restrict the access through the router configuration, like you said.
I'll see if i can find out.
If i have more questions, i can ask again, please

Thank you very much.
Regards
Mona

I believe the D-Link does have MAC restrictions, so you may be able to do the restrictions there, and that will be independent of the IP address.

Dear johnwill,
Hi..i just looked around in my adsl router. i couldn't find mac restrictions.
I found parent control, Lan client, bridge filters.
Can you possibly know what way should i go for internet restriction for a certain computer in my network?
I used adsl router DSL520T.
Thank you very much for your concern.
I really appreciate having myself login to this forum.
Thank you.

Mona

Do you have a link to the user's manual for your router?
