Hub Two firewall control

Can anyone advise - if I connect an old windows XP computer as one of the computers in my home network using a Hub Two plusnet router, I can manage the router to stop this individual computer being seen outside my network or even connecting to the internet?

I want it to be able to transfer video files from this machine to one of the other PC's.

Thanks for looking at this question.

Billy

You need to configure the XP computer IP Address manually, do not set a Default Gateway or DNS hosts

With no default gateway the XP computer will not have access to external networks as there would be no route defined
