I have DHCP running on the PDC. I'm looking for a way to block certain users from having internet access. Could you please give me some solutions to work with the configuration I have presently.

This is a little tricky, because DHCP does not know anything about rights and who should receive what.

Basically you have 3 options in this scenario,

1: In dhcp remove the gateway, manually assign users you want to have access static IP's. Keep users you don't want to give access on dhcp.

2: Keep DHCP as is, assign static IP's to the people who you *don't* want to have access and remove their gateway

3: Purchase Proxy Server 2.0 and route people thru it.

I thought there might be another way, but you've earned your points thank you very much for your help.

With Win2000 DHCP you can use the /setclassid feature to have a computer get a bogus default gateway. But since you mentioned PDC you probably arent using that. Deleting iexplore.exe is another method.

There is still the explaining of why Joe can go to the Internet while Jim can't. Either you are a dufus or you don't like Jim. You don't want to admit to either or those options. By solving the technical issue, you will probably have more personal problems created.
