Thanks, let me give that a try

ok, thanks that works...since no one else can change the ip of the machine, should not be a problem in blocking internet traffic to and from the unit...which is the only issue of having an XP unit on the lan.....still connects to lan, just no where else

Running XP after April won't be as bad as the hype, we're still running Win2000 boxes and there's no armageddon... :)<br />
Make sure you have some kind of antivirus on it, which is not MS Security Essentials, to prevent surprises from USB and the LAN. Possibly some personal firewall too, if it's okay with your business software.<br />
If you can isolate them on a separate vlan, even better.

Have a couple of XP machines that we have to have due to software they run that supports nothing newer, and want to allow them on the LAN, but not able to reach internet oubound or inbound. Is there a way to configure a sonicwall NSA240 to block inbound and outbound traffice from a specific internal IP (if i configure each with an internal static)

Sonicwall and XP

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.
