Donna,

The best way to disconnect from the network is to remove the Ethernet cable from
the back of the computer.

The next best thing is to un install File and Printer Sharing For Microsoft
Networks.

If you want to protect yourself, and still access the internet, install or
enable a software firewall. The Windows Firewall, on XP SP2, will protect you
adequately.

Here are a few websites with useful tutorials:
