I need to be able to stop certain user from getting access to the internet

[lseano]

Hi there I am a student studying computing and I’m almost at the end of me HND. But I am stuck on something and need help.

Here is my situation I need to be able to stop certain user from getting access to the internet (they should only be able to access internal and external e-mail) and other user should be able to have full access to the internet at all times.

Here is my setup I am running a active directory server with a DNS and DHCP also installed on to this server I have added all my users and groups and my DNS is up and running and so is my DHCP. I have also set up the clients PC running windows XP PRO (it is part of my domain and all users are able to logon to the domain)

I am also using a smoothwall firewall which is fully set up and work. I am able to ping the internal network (where my server and clients are), the DMZ (my web server) and the external network (the internet)

So can anyone help me out if you need any more information I will reply ASAP

Thanks for any help

Sean

If my memory serves me correctly where I used to work we had a piece of software that run on the server to restrict the internet usage, after having a little surf around the closest I have came to the software we used is at http://www.codework-systems.com/bcontrol/ if that is anything like you are after

Can't you do this in Windows?

User Account Permissions?

Thanks for your replys i found out how to do it. i had to set up my outgoing on my firewall to stop using from getting access to the internet and only allowing them access the SMTP, IMAP and POP.
