To simply lock the internet? well, you could close port 80 and port 443. That would do most of it. However if they specify a differnt port in the URL string to get to a site that requires a different port number then they can get out to at least that site. Note: If they use a different browser or web access application, then this may not apply.

A second option is to run the PC through a router, and block it there with MAC filtering.

A third option is to put a proxy setting in the browser. Be warned they may use a different browser and get past this one.

You could change the HOST file. Not a good idea for it blocks whoever logs int the PC.

Nope...

If by lock you mean disconnect you can use this to disconnect an automatic dial-up connection as stated in this function description page. If you're using router connection you can use WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1 object to send requests to the router page to request disconnection, described here.

Cant you just find what ports are open and close them with a 'while'?

netstat -an |find /i "listening" > c:'openports.txt

From Cmd and FileRead and close the ports that are shown.

Maybe it would help when the OP is a little clearer in what it is that is exactly required.

There is a magnitude of solutions depending on the requirements from simply "removing the IP gateway and only make other ip addresses available in the pc's subnet" to installing some sort of proxy for filtering the outbound traffic.
