Smile Denying access to internet...

I have a friend that owns a business and he wants to deny internet access to a PC that is in his warehouse. The PC must still be on their network so they can print, etc, so I'm looking for a simple way to "turn the internet off" so to speak on this PC. I believe their router could be configured to accomplish this, but I'm looking for another way. The OS is 98ME.

The network is PC based and runs off a Novell server.

I think you need to get into the router settings by typing 192.168.2.1 or something like that in internet explorer. One of the options in there should say something about shuting off internet to a computer by typing in there ip adress. So, just find there ip and put it in.

Set a static IP and block port 80/81 to that workstation? Course, you could still have chat clients and the like going with only that blocked.
