In most set ups the network will function just fine for file access without
a connection to the Internet.

I guess I'm not following *something*. Does the server need Internet access?

Short of pulling the cable connecting the network to the Internet, there is

be either software or hardware. You need to determine what is sharing the
internet connection and investigate the methods it uses to control the
access.
