Restrict Internet Access

Preventing users from accessing the Internet relying solely on Windows Server and Active Directory can be done by configuring the proxy settings in Internet Explorer group policy objects.

Computer is not accessible from the network, but the computer can access the network and internet.
You may not be able to change firewall settings if you do not have administrative rights to the computer or there is GPO preventing these changes. I really suspect that the Windows firewall or another firewall may be blocking access to this host. Can you even ping this host from other hosts?

Implementing row level security in SQL 2000
No, not at the table level. The closest thing would be to create a view for the use which only shows the rows that the user needs access to. Then give the user access to the view, not the table.
