    Hey
    I have to setup a machine (Windows 98/XP) so that you cannot access the net without entering a password. I have seen some programs like this (inetprotect) but yea gota pay for them :) a big no no in my books!
    Anyone know of a freeware tool like this? or maybe a method of doing the same thing?

    Thanks!

    If you have a decent router you can do it from there

    If the local user is IT savy then you have to password off the machine - some forewalls allow this.

    one option is SquidNT and NT LM authentication - you have to logon to a seperate proxy sever before it fetches for you - and no I've not seen that feature setup and working.

    well, since i didnt wanna limit to everyone hanging off the router not having internet access i searched for a windows app that can block internet access (as i orignally wanted).
    Found a good program called iNet Protector, which Password protects an Internet connection. http://www.blumentals.net/inetprot/
    cost me 20euro but what the hey, if it works 100% and does the job its worth paying for.
