Is It possible to turn internet access off?

I have several computers connected to a small LAN which is connected to the internet. Is it possible to disconnect one of the computers from the internet but leave it connected to the LAN? It seems like there should be a setting to accomplish this but I haven;t been able to find it.
thanks!

There should be a setting in the router's admin area that accomplishes what you want. Read the router manual.

Am I able to turn Universal Access off?

I work with many labs in a high school full of eMac computers running OS 10.4.11 and am having trouble will Universal Access features. The features are great for the users who need them, but in many cases make the computer unusable by users who don't unless someone knows the shortcuts to toggle that feature.
Even in a managed environment (using Workgroup Manager locally on the machine to manage accounts) users are able to use the shortcuts to invert the color, turn voiceover on, and zoom.
Does anyone know of anyway to disable Universal Access completely?

Hello,
I apologise for duplicating this post from the Leopard threads, but it's quite short! I suggest using this as a pedagogical opportunity.
Turn on VoiceOver on one machine and blindfold a volunteer. This is more dramatic and will have a bigger impact than simply activating the screen curtain. Explain to the kids the use of VoiceOver and guide your volunteer through a simple task such as creating a postcard home in TextEdit.
When they realise just how useful VO is, and at the same time how difficult it is to navigate a machine when you can't see the screen, you should have no more discipline problems. I think all you'll be left with is a sense of awe among the kids that such a thing is possible.
And if you really want to shock them, try playing them some of the videos from the AssistiveWare site. I'd suggest using Anne's to give a short intro to the use of VoiceOver professionally, and then Marie-France's, showing just what an effect VO can have. As a tip on the latter, translate the message Marie-France types to her mother: "Maman, peux-tu mettre ma tête droite?" (Mum, can you straighten my head for me?). I'm certain the sheer punch of this simple message from someone so helpless as to be unable to put her own head in a comfortable position will put an end to any cynicism or amusement. Since most kids carry an iPod or similar device with them, you could then get them to plug the earbuds into their machines and try the basic steps for themselves—without interfering with each other.
Finally, I'd also suggest that you post up a list of the shortcuts to turn on and off the various Universal Access facilities, with a brief explanation of the role and function of each.

New Toshiba wireless turns Internet connection off (thru Linksys WRT110)

I "commissioned" a new Toshiba A660 (customized) yesterday. We have a DSL line with Motorola modem and Cisco Linksys WRT110 router with one Cat5-connect. For a brief period the Toshiba could access the Internet thru the wireless (I registered the computer and the Norton AntiVirus.) Subsequently I "activated" or allowed the Toshiba to self-install Bluetooth (built in, but, it appears, not listed in the device manager).
Before the afternoon was over I found that the Toshiba, with WiFi antenna "on" effectively killed my Internet connection. My Dell, which was hardwired thru the Cisco could not get to the Internet; my Mac, which works wirelessly, could not access the Internet. When I turn the Toshiba's wireless antenna OFF, Internet access to the other two computers is restored within 45-60 seconds. This situation persisted after a "Restore to Factory" procedure this morning, where the Toshiba killed our Internet access during or shortly after the "configuring the desktop" portion of the hour-long restoration.
Another call to, and call-back from, Toshiba tech support resulted in their suggestions that 1) I should see if my computer crashes someone else's Internet connection and 2) that it must be the Cisco.
The Toshiba behaves itself when connected to the Cisco via Cat5 (as long as the wireless antenna is not turned on).
So, Cisco, Do I need a router upgrade to keep the Toshiba from killing my Internet connection?

If your new computer is running windows 7, disable IPv6 under LAN properties for both the wired and wireless adapters. Reboot computer and connect again.

Parenting - Is it possible to control internet access at certain times.

Is it possible to make an iphone not have access to the internet. I realize I can turn wifi and cellular data off but my child could obviously turn it back on. I want to only allow wifi and cellular data usage on weekends. Any suggestions?

Since you should be able to monitor his call usage and data usage, you could tell him/her, you can't make calls or go online except on weekends. If I find out that you disobey, I will take it away for 1 day the first time, 1 week the second time, and 1 month the third time. If there is a fourth time, it's gone for good.
Kids need boundaries and need to learn consequences. At least that's what I'd do.

Is it possible to turn List View off in Mountain Lion's Calendar?

I used to be able to see just the day view with calendar blocks. Now I have a list view between my calendars and my day's schedule. This is really messing up my work flow (I schedule people all day). Is it possible to get rid of the list view and go back to just seeing the calendars and the day schedule?

Don't know about (a), but (b) looks like a 'yes':

HT4515 Is it possible to turn phone features off (not accept calls) and keep other features on (camera)?

I will be traveling outside USA and do not want to receive phone calls while gone. Do not want global roaming, etc. But, I lan to use iphone for camera. Is there a way to cancel call features and use remaining apps?

Wi-fi will still work in Airplane mode. You can try it right now. Just enable Airplane mode, then tap Wi-Fi and turn it back on. You will be able to connect to any hotspots you may be able to find while traveling (and of course wi-fi doesn't use your data plan).

Is it possible to turn Calendar Sync off?

Have recently deleted Outlook on my Windows, and since everytime I try to sync my Iphone it says there is a problem sending calendar data. Is there anyway to stop syncing the Calendar? Thanks

I dont use any calendars...
Now you tell us! We were assuming you were using a calendar based upon your original post. Are you syncing contacts? If so, from where? Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If this doesn't work, you may have to restore your phone. See p. 141 of the manual... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf

How to increase internet access speed of OS X 10.5.8 whilst using telstra prepaid wirless broadband internet stick in Darwin, Australia

Is it possible to increase internet access speed of Mackbook Pro OS X 10.5.8 whilst using telstra prepaid wirless broadband internet stick in Darwin, Australia?
How can i do this?

Network Utility (in the Utilities folder) can tell you, in the Info pane, what speed you are actually connecting at.
Just set the interface to the one you are using (which may show up as en2 or something). Link Staus and speed are shown along with error counts.
If the data rate is very different from what you expected, you may have it manually set to a lower rate.
YouTube files are enormous -- that may be the best it can do.

Unable to receive internet connection over wifi connection. Shows that I am connected to the network, but do not have internet access. Checked my firewall and turned it off. What else am I missing or should be doing differently?

You might want to try resetting your router and your modem - just unplug the cords, leave them unplugged for about 3-5 minutes and then replug the modem and then the router in that order.
This may or may not correct your problem - call back if it doesn't.

Is it possible to turn off "Internet Connect / Authentication Failed" msgs

Greetings and thank you for your time.
My network connect is set up to automatically connect wirelessly or through Ethernet...this is fine.
However, every time I open my notebook or start it up,
If my computer cannot connect through those two, (airport is off/no cable attached) it constantly sends the pop-up message: "Internet Connect / Authentication Failed". 3 times over a period of 15min.
Is there any way to turn this warning off ?
I am not trying to access a connection & Mail/Safari are closed.
It makes it frustrating when you arrive at a meeting to start a presentation and you keep getting this popup that blocks all functions till you acknowledge it and click "ok".
Any suggestions other then turning off auto connect (which I appreciate when I do turn on Airport or plug in an ethernet cable.
Thank you for any support on this.
Best regards, T

Greetings T, and Welcome to the Discussions!
We just have to find what it is that's tying to connect/call home, and disable it.
Common examples are Network Time... Set Date & Time Automatically.
Software Update... Check for Updates...
Dashboard Widgits & Rss Feeds.
Automount Shares.
Mail automatically checking for Mail.
I( was thinking more when I started, but the Berr is...
If all that fails, maybe get Little Snitch, it tells you when a program tries to send info to the internet so you can see what's going on in the background!

Need help turning off autoupdate without Internet access for Reader 9

Does anyone know how to disable the auto-update for Adobe Reader 9.0?
The only article I have seen explains how to disable the update for 7.0 or 8.0 (both change a registry key bUpdater to 0, which does not exist for 9.0).
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks!

The only way I know to disable it is to go to Help>Check for updates.... Let it do it's thing then click the "preferences" button and deselect "Automatically check for Adobe updates."
I'm not positive what happens if you try this without internet access...

I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working. HELP....

I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
