[THIN] Blocking Internet Access by Group

On NT TSE 4.0 I blocked internet access by group by setting permissions =
on wsock32.dll. The group "non-internet users" was set to no access on =
it. That stopped them from accessing the internet through Internet =
Explorer, Ms Outlook, Windows Explorer and all the other ways they got =
around my attempts to block them. I find it interesting that my users =
can't add an attachment to email or rename a file without having their =
hands held but deny them access to yahoo and they find a million ways =
around it.
but I digress...
The above solution does not work in Windows 2000. If I change =
permissions on wsock32.dll the desktop goes nuts.
My Watchguard firewall will block access but only by requiring a =
password to be entered in a page for access. That is more trouble that =
it is worth.
All I want to do is have the internet blocked based on group membership. =
If they are in the group, no external access.
I have tried to find an add on or something but keep coming up empty.
Does any one have any ideas on how I can do this?
I have windows 2000 all the way around, a Watchguard Firebox II, and =
internet explorer 5.5 on all the servers.
Thanks!
Greg
