We are running three PCs - 2 on Win 98SE and one XP on a DLink DI604 router.
The person running XP wishes to shut his PC off from the internet but leave
it open to the home network overnight - he is using Zonealarm as a firewall
(as we all are).
Is it possible to do this - leave file and printer sharing open but shut
down only internet activity?

I don't know about the D-Link 604, but many of the routers like it have
the ability to setup a PRIVATE IP on the Internal side - this would mean
that you/him would have to enter his computers IP in the Private setting
section of the router and that would block it from being able to get out
to the net.

Why doesn't he just lock the workstation so that it can't be used by
anyone without a password?

The computer is already blocked from getting incoming connection requests
from the Internet because it is behind the router.
That leaves it able to make outbound connections.
Does this person know what outbound connections to the Internet she wants to
stop and why she wants to stop them?
It sounds to me like she wants to stop something which she either does not
understand or which does not exist.
To see what connections a PC is making and where it is making them to you
can use this

But you may not find it easy to understand what it tells you.
