Well, everything is mostly good with the network, though I need to iron out some security issues. In the meantime, I have a question that I can't find an answer to:
Is there a way to stop a Vista computer from EVER going on the internet?
I have a laptop tethered to my studio camera that I use for recording images, and now that I've got the network setup, it's constantly slowed down and interupted by "new updates available", etc. I know I can turn off the auto-updates (at least I did in XP Pro) and remove stuff from the startup group, but I can't find a simple option to "Never connect to the internet" or better yet "Never connect to a wireless network". When I boot up, I manually disconnect it from the wireless network, but it's already found updates in the meantime!
I can always hardwire it occasionally to update it as needed.
Is there such an option, or is MS hellbent on everything having to be connected at all times?
