Hi
I have a home network of 2/3 pcs, the pcs are all running XP. One is
connected to the internet on broadband, the rest are connected using
internet connection sharing.
I want to be able to cut off the non-main pcs from the network on demand,
preferably via clicking a button. Are there any tools out there (free?)
that will let me do this?

Thanks

Wow -

There aren't any applications that I can think of but
maybe someone else will have an idea.

What about logging on to the router itself and
disconnecting the workstations? It might not be the
easiest solution but it should work.

Good luck!

Right click the main PC's local area network connection and click
Disable. That will stop all communication between it and the non-main
PCs, so they won't be able to access the Internet.
