Disable Internet Connection

I want to disable internet connection on my POS registers, because my cashiers keep surfing the net. My only problem is that I use Credit Card processing over the internet(w/ MercuryPayments). Is there a possible way to disable the internet connection without using third party software or blocking my credit card processing? Thanks in andvance, any help is appreciated.


Hi Haik, try this:

IE > Tools > Internet Options > Content > Content Advisor > Enable: enter a password

Click on Settings > Approved Sites: confirm that the list is empty.

Click on the General Tab >

Clear the checkbox: Users can see sites that have no rating.

Click the checkbox: "Supervisor can type a password to allow users to view restricted content.

Click OK and exit IE.

Launch IE and attempt to visit your favorite site. You'll see that a password is required to view any website.
