How can I disable internet access for just some computers on a network?

[ddeder]

I have 10 computers on a network with broadband internet access. I want to disable internet access on two of the computers in such a way that the users of the computers won't be able to figure out how to get it back, yet I will still be able to restore internet access to these computers without much trouble. Suggestions?

winproxy - this will allow you to define which ip addresses will be able to access the internet.

You can change the Proxy settings to not allow someone to access the Internet using GPEDIT.MSC.
The setting is located  at User Configuration> Windows Settings> Internet Explorer Maintenance> Connection> Proxy Settings.
You can then make sure that this setting is not applied to the Administrator by following the article below:
How do I apply local policies to all users, except administrators, on a Windows 2000-based computer that is in a workgroup setting?

If you have a router such as the popular Linksys models, you can also set it to block particular IP's or MAC addresses.
