How can I disable internet access but still allow access to network resources for a certain user via the system itself, not on the server? 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.

Thanks!
Do not put a default gateway on the machine. Or provide DNS server that can not resolve DNS for external hosts.

Write a login script for the user. In the login script type:
route add 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.120 metric 1

where 192.168.0.120 is some bogus IP on your network that has no routing enabled, this route is the same metric as the default gateway it may or may not work?

When you need to access the internet type route delete 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.120 metric 1
