I just setup a DNS server for my local site. each client will have there perfered DNS server this address. Now my question is, can I block certain IP address's from accessing the internet?
Yes if you have firewall or:
1. With GPO, modified the proxy address to 127.0.0.1 and don't give them access to change the configuration (IE and Network properties)
2. I never try this, but I think you can create another scope, reserve the addresses and put default gateway 127.0.0.1
I am trying to accomplist the same thing, but I do not have much experience with networking and Windows2000. What is GPO and where do I find it?
Thanks,
Janet
GPO stands for Group Policy Object. Every machine since Windows 2000 has a Local GPO and they may have more Group Policies applied to them if they are part of a domain.
To access your local Group Policy Object for your machine go to Start -> Run -> MMC
Then add the Group Policy snap in and just go with the default which is for the local machine.
Word of caution, there are A LOT of Group policies and i'm not sure where this specific one is. Maybe someone else can help you find that policy
1. Create one OU, move your users to that OU, and then right click that OU, properties, Group Policy. How to create/apply GPO??? you can read the help file is easy.
2. ON Group policy windows, expand User configuration | windows settings | Internet Explorer Maintenance | Connection, double click Proxy Settings (from there you can allow them to access some websites also)
3. To prevent users play with the proxy/network configuration, go to User Configuration | administrative templates | windows component | internet explorer
