XP Pro Internet Access Limiting

I have a network system setup with all the computers using XP Pro and I
would like to have one of the computers for anyone to use, but that computer
would NOT be allowed to access the internet. How do I go about setting this
one computer so that it can NOT get on the internet?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Some methods include:

Not giving it a default gateway address
Blocking it on your firewall (you do have a FW, don't you?)
Using IPSec

You can, by using the Group policy (gpedit.msc) on that machine and assign
the users limited account and assign yourself an Admin account privileges to
perform the restrictions from that account by denying or allowing access to
such programs/applications!!
