Re: disable internet but allow network access

How can I disable internet access but still allow access to network

I would like to be able to easily as a local admin re-enable internet
access at any time to be able to download updates as needed.

I tried zone alarm pro but the user just right clicked it and turned
it off.

You didn't give us enough information about the system and the network
to help you. What version of XP is on the workstation, Pro or Home? Is
the workstation a member of a domain?

By "allow access to network resources" I assume that you mean lan
traffic is permitted this user but not Internet access.

In a very general sense you can create a user account that is locked
down with permissions/restrictions and then just log on with an
unrestricted administrator account to do updates, maintenance, etc.

Answer the questions in paragraph one to get focused suggestions.
