In dhcp, ceate a reserverd IP address for the workstation. Do not assign a gateway ip address. Use group policy to deny access to the nic properties. Easy, clean, simple.

I've even prevented the IE from executing in a local GPO - but they already found a work around for that i.e. Start Menu > Windows Update, or any application which has their home page in the Help menu etc. The organization has a few guys who know a (little bit) about NIC settings and will discover the manual configurations - and change them. And yes, some of them have local admin level. I'm sure if there is an easy HOSTS line I can enter - this could be my best solution. Any? Joseph F.

That said, why not just pass the workstations the loopback address for DNS server? Ben M.

I have a volunteer Organization in workgroup mode, using a Link$y$ broadband router (old) on a cable ISP. They need an easy/quick method to stop all internet name resolution. Due to current complications, HOSTS file is my only solution. Is there a "catch all" line I can do i.e. 172.0.0.1 *.* (*.com) (.com) etc. Joseph F.
