Right, all Internet traffic. That, and the reasons that James mentioned, are
why this particular approach is not ideal when compared to using a proxy
server.

Darren,
What if the users need access to specific Internet sites? If you set a dummy
Proxy server, it inhibits all traffic, correct?

Dave-
Whenever this question comes up, the best answer is usually to use a Proxy
Server to control this. If you have ISA from MS then you can use its
capability to integrate into AD to control access for specific users and
groups. However, in the absence of a proxy server solution, you can kludge a
solution using IE Maintenance Policy. Basically use the feature in IE
Maintenance policy to set a proxy server setting in IE to set a "dummy"
proxy server. By setting that, IE essentially fails when trying to access
any sites for the users who receive that policy.

I need to restrict internet access for 7 users on our school network. They
still need access to the file server but only to disable the internet. Our
users will login to several different computers through out the day so I am
not able to lock a certain computer down. We are running Active Directory
on Windows Server 2003 with XP Pro SP2 on the workstations.
I have been through the User Configuration and can only find a policy that
will remove the IE icon from the desktop and quick launch. This might work
if I could find a way to disable the IE on the Start Menu as well but am
open to other ways also.
Thanks
