How to Block a Public Wireless Network

[navar]

We have a public wireless in our building for non-employee uses. My issue is some of the staff are jumping off the company wireless to use the public wireless for un-restricted web surfing. How do I block access to our public WiFi with GP? I still need the staff to be able to access other public WiFi. Example if they take the laptop on a road trip. The name of the in house public WiFi is PublicWiFi.

Not knowing how you're set up, I'll throw out a few ideas and hopefully one of them will work for you.

Can you block them on the Public router via ip/mac/computer name?

You could create a login script that disables the wireless connection at login, and then reenable it when they log off

disable network connection command line - Google Search

You could set up a domain vs. standard profile and ban accordingly.

Or you could simply tell people they aren't allowed, and monitor the public router and speak with them about it. First time, they get a talking to by you, second time, by their boss.

Of course, I may be WAY off and none of these things may help, but thought I'd share some preliminary ideas.
