We have some computers that need network acces, but not internet access. I don't want to un-install the internet because of the updates. We also use WinProxy as the firewall. I can do it at either end, but I don't know how. Thanks for the help.

You need to use a proxy server. Configure it to use authentication and only allow certain users or computers to access the internet. Your proxy should be the only machine that connects through your firewall to the WWW.

If you install a router, (I recommend LinkSys)
you can block certain ports from internet access. Usually just the http ports and you should be ok. For updates, they can be obtained from the server if you download them for later install.
