| | Turning off internet connection in Vista. How? Hello, I tried to google, but was unable to find any instructions that tell someone how to disable the MS-Vista internet connection. I would like my Vista machine to be able to access the other computers in the LAN only. How can one do this? I am about to spend some quality time with my router, to see if I can accomplish this via router settings. If anyone has any suggestions on this, I would greatly appreciate them. Perplexed, John |

| | Re: Turning off internet connection in Vista. How? This is something of a general problem, not confined to this lousy OS. If ever your internet connection is broken you can't work because of constant pestering by practically every application you have installed. A user-friendly OS would detect the situation, and intercept attempted updates, etc. Regards "John" <heimdal@xxxxxx> a écrit dans le message de news:fe873o0q8o@xxxxxx Quote: > Hello, > > I tried to google, but was unable to find any instructions that tell > someone how to disable the MS-Vista internet connection.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try this, and then see if Vista can still connect to the local area network. Thanks. Cheers, John |

I've got a Linksys WRT54G and it has an Access Restrictions | Internet Access facility that sounds exactly like what you're looking for. Lang |
