Are you trying to keep other users from accessing the Web at all, or are you just trying to keep IE from accessing the web without the user's permission? The "best" solution will depend upon your specific needs.

its a pc on the shop floor used for some packaging functions and the users using this pc for day to day work manage to sneak some internet surfing so to be more specific is to stop employees surfing the net on company time.

If the packaging application doesn't require network access, you could remove the computer from the network and unplug the cable.

If you're having this problem, you may want to also disable the floppy and CD drives in the BIOS, and use a BIOS password.

don't put in a gateway address.
put in an fake gateway address.

Either of these will still give full access to the LAN. Messing with DNS might not allow full LAN functionality.

Another thing that will help stop novice users is to remove all icons for IE.

Do you use Active Directory?

cant remove pc from network it connects to a server running SQL database where information is stored after each shift.
