(NT) Your router will do this.

I believe you are correct depending on it's features

Perhaps by MAC address filtering. It also can be done using static IP addressing and not plugging DNS/gateway info into the "banned" PC. Of course this would mean preventing users from monkeying around with network settings.

This is the firewall's job

Since this is the XP forum, I'll assume all systems run XP, in which case you can just set the firewall to block traffic on port 80. You then just have to be sure the user is unable to alter the firewall settings.
