BLOCKING WINDOWS TO SURF THE INTERNET
WINDOWS stations on my network should not be able to browse the internet
I did get from someone this registry setting , that works
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwar e\Microsof t\Windows\ CurrentVer sion\Inter net Settings]
"MigrateProxy"=dword:00000 001
"ProxyEnable"=dword:000000 01
"ProxyServer"="http://ProxyServername:80"
"ProxyOverride"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwa re\Policie s\Microsof t\Internet Explorer\Restrictions]
"NoBrowserOptions"=dword:0 0000001
BUT:
Then I use a activex from a third party in my VB6 programs to send mails
wich uses:
SmtpServer = "smtp.xs4all.nl"
.SmtpPort = "25"
.SmtpSSL = False
.SmtpSPA = False
That wil give error due to no internet connection
SO: how to prevent users can "Google" but I still can send mails

If you have not got any branch office or all of your workstations traffic are local, you can remove default gateway of all workstation.
use group policy to place a fake proxy address into their internet explorer connection settings tab and to also Grey it out so it cant be edited, so this way it will try connecting to the net via this fake proxy and always fail
