Semi-access possible?

Airman Basic

Have a small network at home, 5 desktops and a few laptops. Son and wife
have no trouble, but 12 year old daughter often clicks before she
thinks, also has friends who do the same.

Is there a way to deny her LAN access and still give her access to the
shared DSL connection? I can GHOST her 95 machine easily enough when
necessary but don't want her spreading spyware or worse to the other
local machines. Would like to do it with just her machine and not have
to password protect all the other machines, if possible.
 
we need more information to help. the easy way is setup permission. If you
don't want to setup password or permission, you still have some options. you
can disable file and printer sharing on her win95, so that she can't open
the my network neighborhood; if she is only person to use win95 and other
computers are w2k/xp, you can disable netbios over tcp/ip on w2k/xp.

Ah, forgot the printer. She'll need access to that. Guess I might have
to password protect the other machines, after all, unless disabling file
sharing while enabling printer sharing for her machine will still get
the job done? She's the only 95 machine. The others are a mix of 98, 2k,
and XP with one Linux machine we use as a file server.
