It's not clear what you are trying to achieve by not letting it have network access: since it's behind a NAT router, no-one from the outside world will be able to connect in to it anyway.

If you really do want to disable its internet access you could do either of these:

1. Use the route command to delete the default IP route 0.0.0.0, so that it can only talk to the local sub-net on your LAN;

2. Install NetBEUI on all 3 PCs. Disable TCP/IP on the special PC. On the special PC, bind File and Print Sharing to NetBEUI. On the other PCs, ensure that Microsoft Client is bound to NetBEUI.
