We are using Windows 2003 small business server with 2 NIC's, one for the LAN and one is used to connect to the DSL modem. The second card is actually a gateway to the Internet. I need to block access to the Internet for 1 user without effecting any other user. I looked at different policies but couldn't find one that would totally block a single user. I was looking at the policies on the server itself. I know I can do things on the client computer, but I want to prevent the user from access not necessarily the client computer. Any idea's?

Apply a group policy object to the user's account that sets the content advisor in IE so that they have no access.

Dear friend-who-does-not-read. That will deny ANY user of that computer access to the internet. He wants a way to deny a single USER access to the internet. User and Computer are, as you may know, different things.

How many user are accessing the internet...??
Below are the options where you can restrict internet access
1)Use Mac Filtering which available in all routers i believe
2)Enable DHCP on Win 2003 SBS with this option you can allow or restrict access using DHCP Filters
3)Use a proxy server
4)Remove a gateway address

All depends on number of users

Best of Luck!!!!

Use group policy to do this. If you use the IP blocking method and they login to another workstation they'll be able to access from that system unless you restrict their account to only be able to logon to that one PC.

I have found that to be counterproductive which is why I use, and LOVE group policy.

How exactly do you add the policy to one user. Our policy's currently are domain policies. I don't see away to add a policy to just one user.

I restrict Internet access with help of parental control tool called Ez Internet Timer http://www.internettimer.net It can stop all children's on-line activity and block Internet browsers, e-mails, ftps or messengers according to my daily schedule (differs for each son). It will take only one minute to do the trick.
