i have a windows 98 computer at work that people use. I wan't to restrict internet access on this computer so that nobody can go on the internet w/o a password. is this possible and how do i do it?

I don't believe it's possible. Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

what is the method of connection on that machine? I'm guessing Jenn, what if all he has to do is remove the checkmark on TCP/IP protocol? OVERRIDE

Since 98 doesn't use file permissions or user profiles, I don't think he can permit access to only certain users (from within Windows). There may be a third-party utility available. I could be wrong of course.. Life is more painless for those who are brainless.
