I have 10 users in a Win95 OS that can press the escape key and get to the desktop. They can not see the network,but can still get on the Internet as a guest user. Is there any way to force a user to have to log on to get on the internet. I do not want to go to the registry of every machine to do this. Want to control it at the server level. Do not want Proxy server. Thank you in advance.

If you want to control Internet access at the server level, I believe you'll need to implement some kind of packet filter (Proxy Server, Cisco Secure, etc.) and I don't know of any way around that.

I did hear once of someone using a Kixtart script to disable TCP/IP unless the user was logged on to the network, but this only works where the local network uses something other than TCP/IP (like NetBeui or IPX).
In that case, it might be an option.
