Wifi – Disable internet access for a single computer

adslinternetwifiwindows 7

In our network, we are connected to the outside world with an ADSL modem. A (wireless) router is connected to this ADSL modem, which provides wireless access to 3 laptops, and a USB connection to a printer.

Then, there is a desktop (Running Win7 Pro x64), which is used as a file server/svn repos, which is connected to the network with a wire connection, through the wireless router.

What we want to do is, to disable the internet access for this desktop which we use as a file server and only allow it to communicate with the devices on our network. We'd appreciate your help.

Here's a block diagram of the situation: We want to disable internet access for the Win7 desktop, but allow all the wireless clients to still access the desktop. Is this possible?

Use firewall on router or ADSL modem to restricting access to the IP address. Or delete default route on Windows 7 desktop.
