Stopping a PC accessing the Internet ?
stvy:
Pete,
If the software is written according to the standards it will not auto discover. The windows and linux network implementations do not auto discover gateways. The nearest you get is a DHCP server telling a DHCP client.
Regards,
Steve

Which actual router do you have? are you with Virgin, BT, or some other ISP. Either way the answer is in the child safety or parental control set up. You can put restrictions in the outside access on routers to stop children getting 'out' while still allowing them to get to the local music and picture server. Look at the 'filters' section used for port forwarding which normally has controls based on the PC MAC address.

It's a BT Home Hub and it has the parental controls, but the hardware on the (Russian) torch height controller is forcing it to use 192.168.10.xxx whereas my network is the conventional 192.168.1.xxx
As previously mentioned, I can't experiment until this PC gets finally fixed into the Plasma Table, which won't happen for a week or two, BUT I have got myself a USB - WiFi dongle that hopefully will let this PC exist on both subnets, then I can use the parental control trick perhaps.
mfletch:
first you can just turn off windows updates second use windows firewall to stop Internet explore excessing the Internet

Adjust your netmask so it exlude the 10 network then. Not letting the 10 network to slip out.. its what netmasks are for. Telling what parts of the networks is accessible.
Properly configured network and it should not let it self roam your network. usually commercial routers and such is really loosely configured for ease of use but can be restricted.
Most obvious would be to tell the DHCP not to give those networks gateway adresses. Or just not use DHCP in those parts of the network and restrict netmask so it will not broadcast wide in the C network (A.B.C.D - is the usual definition of a network).
