Ram,
One very lame way of doing this is to not assign a default gateway for the
machine. I have
seen many Win Admins do this, but like I said its extremely lame. Using
iptables of a
proxy would be a better way. But if its only this one machine, then just remove
its
default gateway and it will not be able to access anything outside your
network. However,
it will access all services on your network.
