You can do so by installing an internet proxy server and ban the specific users for all the protocols.

Dear Yogesh,
You need to have a firewall to accomplish this. Plenty of firewalls are available. Microsoft's ISA Server 2000 is a firewall and a proxy server which would allow you to restrict your users to access internet. You have to consider sophisticated firewall solution if you host web/mail servers inside your network. Watchguard and Sonicwall are some of the enterprise firewall you can consider if you host servers inside your network.

Depending on the numbers of users you want to have internet access, statically set ip addr and add the default gw and external DNS addresses. Remove the same from DHCP scope. Can't resolve names or can't find out how to get there, they don't get out. Throw some addresses for a proxy server in the internet options anyway just to throw "Joe User" off a little.
Since you're not already running a firewall or proxy server I'm guessing the numbers of users would be managable.
