Using Network Access Control to limit Internet access on a specific few machines
I don’t think 2008 can do that. If this 2008 server is acting as a gateway/proxy server, you can configure internet policies in your ISA settings. If not, you need to setup a mirroring port in your switch and setup an internet filtering program(ie: WFilter, websense) to do the job.

Changing RealVNC 4.5 username alert
What I have found, when researching this issue for myself, is that, in order to see a username other than “anonymous” in RealVNC, you have to change the authentication type on the client side (vnc server side) to use “Windows Password” instead of “VNC Password”.
