(OT) gateway removal

Yahoo Archive

If you are using DHCP to obtain an IP address on the client, and the
DHCP server is also providing the address for the default gateway,
the client settings will be blank under the TCP/IP properties for
gateway. You could, however enter a bogus IP address on the client
for the gateway - this will override anything providided by the DHCP
server, and the client will receive an error message when attempting
to reach any addresses outside your network.

I have a client that I want to run Vantage. I just put Internet Explorer 5.5 on his machine because the manual suggests it for the particular files it has. I don't want the workstation to have internet access. The gateway to the Internet is the same server that has the Vantage database on it. Yeah, I know, it's not the best thing to do, but I had to do it. How do I disable the gateway on this computer so he doesn't get Internet access?

In the network TCP/IP setting for the PC you should be able to clear the
Gateway setting. Vantage does not need this because it gets the connection
form the HOSTS file. You can also enable DNS and then not specify any DNS
IP addresses to search. This ought to fix'em.

I have a client that I want to run Vantage. I just put Internet Explorer
5.5 on his machine because the manual suggests it for the particular files
it has. I don't want the workstation to have internet access. The
gateway to the Internet is the same server that has the Vantage database on
it. Yeah, I know, it's not the best thing to do, but I had to do it. How do
