Got fixed ip addresses or dynamic from the ISP?

Re: blocking dns

I'd set the dns settings on the clients, then use local group policy to deny access to the networking properties. They cannot change the dns settings as the option will not be there for them to do it.

Re: blocking dns

If you block outbound dns requests how are you going to resolve dns requests from your DNS server and thus get to your web page? Take that rule off.

The router should have the isp's dns servers in there. If not put them in and that should be that.
