In reply to TomJeson64's post on April 24, Thank you for your help anyway. In reply to NeilCampbell4's post on April 24, Get agent switcher for Firefox. They don't have GPO set up and some employees have in the past figured out why they couldn't get internet. Change the IP settings to re-add a gateway, and voila. GPO or a good firewall would be the way to go, I'd imagine, but I'm not a GPO expert so I couldn't tell you exactly what to do without researching it myself.
One thing that may be worth considering is that the reason I believe that you're wanting to disable Internet access is because of the EOL scheduled for April. If that's the case, I would suggest that setting options in the OS may not be the best way to go since you won't really be able to 'trust' the OS.
Based on that, it may be better to go with something that's done at the network like setting the solution proposed by John. If possible, it may not be a bad idea to also go ahead and setup a VLAN that completely isolates the XP machines from everything else on the network that's possibly the tin-foil hat, black helicopters conspiracy freak in me.
Do you need access to anything that is not the domain controller? I would create a separate subnet with no router and use a spare network port on the domain controller to connect to the new network. If routing is not enabled on the domain controller the devices can see each other but traffic can't leave the subnet.
I already did the gateway trick and it works for now. Looking over these other suggestions. Another simple trick is to use a fake proxy server address, with "Bypass proxy for local addresses" checked.
If they try to go out on the internet, they'll never contact the proxy, and therefore never get to the internet. This is what I do for some front line type PCs. They need access to internal recourses and one or two external sites. Works great. You could uncouple the Heisenberg Compensators and flush the quantum capacitors.
Sorry Brian but I couldn't resist when I saw it was you. I would have said something helpful, but you're right you've already got at least 4 working solutions that I see.
It all really depends on what local network resources you need them to still access you might need to adjust the host file to lock it down further. If you need local resources available, I'd probably remove the DNS server info and create static routes to all local resources, then put a wildcard entry pointing back to the loopback address in your host file. That will further limit their ability to get out.
If you're going to have any XP machines left on the network after the upcoming EOL you definitely want to have them locked down. If any still require internet access you might check out downmyrights to help protect against browser infections and I definitely recommend putting Webroot on those machines.
