setting a password to get online in XP

Hi, I've got a question.
I have an office with several computers, some xp home and some xp pro.
I need a way to disable internet access, or better yet, require a
password to get internet accesss on each of these machines. How, in
windows xp, do I set up a password so that to surf the net one is
needed?

Thanks,

HJ

I think you need to investigate Firewalls and Firewall settings. Your router
MIGHT have this sort of function, but you may find that you need to install
a third-party Firewall with this capability.
