If you are using a proxy server, you can set it to require UserID/Password input to gain access to the Internet. Make sure you use a good firewall and enterprise anti-virus/anti-spyware to protect the network from attack.

Are you using any kind of proxy to control Internet access, such as an ISA firewall. If so you may want to consider implementing rules to allow or disallow user access to Internet, MSN etc.

Either script or GPO works well. You will also need to restrict the user’s ability to change the internet options and the TCP/IP settings or they will go right behind you and undo the changes every time they log in. Had that happen to me a couple of times.

Set it in the log in script, using netsh commands for tyhe interface, you can set the ip, dhcp, gw, wins. I have heard of people also pointing to bad prox address. In GPO, you could set browser connection settings to a bad proxy/port
