Not sure exactly what your intent is but on our network, we use a router (manageable via your browser) thru which you can grant or deny access to the internet to specific PCs.

Another suggestion is to run PSEXEC (from www.sysinternals.com part of their PSTools set). PSEXEC can open a remote command prompt, so you could then issue IPCONFIG, and it would occur on the remote machine.
