Internet access

[jakess]

All pc's on our network have Internet access through a ADSL router.How do i block them from accessing the the Internet directly by putting in a proxy on the LAN.
There is no LAN settings configured in IExplorer.

Jakess,

There are man free proxy's out there. Here are a few. Most of them will give you step by step instructions on how to install over your lan. Hope this helps.

My question: How do i block them from accessing the Internet directly by putting in a proxy on the LAN.
I know i can use several proxies available but how do i disable users from connecting directly to the Internet the way its setup now.
Basicly i dont understand this direct Internet access through ADSL Netgear router because i came from a proxy LAN to proxy ISP environment

If we could have a few more details from you it should enable us to give you a definate answer.

Are all your machines connected to the Netgear router directly? If so what is the model number of the Netgear Router?

Is this a server/workstation environment and if so what server o/s are you using?

Depending on your answers there may be no need to deal with any additional proxies.

Netgear DG834GT. DHCP and DNS etc is configured on the router.
Users are connected to a switch.
Is a server/workstation environment with a few workgroups in place, but will implement full SBS 2003 soon.

Well as soon as you have SBS2003 in place you will not have this problem as the ISA part of SBS will sort this for you.

In the mean time the router that you are using can restrict access to the internet for you. See page 70 of
