How to stop a computer on my home LAN from accessing internet but allow access to other computers on LAN?
I make use of Windows filesharing as well as would similar to to stop a single mechanism upon my LAN from accessing anything though alternative computers upon my internal network- we do not wish it to be means to entrance a internet.
Can any a single suggest how to do this?
I would similar to this to be something configured in Windows itself given we do not wish all partitions upon a mechanism to be incompetent to entrance a internet. Just a single of them.
As previous answers have mentioned, you could configure a firewall rule in your router to block that computer from getting to the Internet.
If your router doesn’t have that functionality, you could configure that computer with bogus / fictitious DNS addresses. Of course, I would suggest using private IP addresses for this. You could log in the computer as administrator to make those changes, and then the person could have a plain user account, and even if they knew what was going on, they couldn’t make changes since it’s just a user account. That computer would still be able to see the Windows network, because Windows uses netBIOS for that.
