you should have a WINS server on each subnet to enable a unified naming scheme for the PCs to register their names. I think you might be able to get away with connecting PCs via raw IP numbers (e.g. type \\192.168.x.y\share_name in the run command box. But that is really not a good long-term solution. Internet restriction per machine - DHCP will allow this and in fact make it easier to maintain from off-site. You can assign fixed IP addresses easily via DHCP, you just tie them to each interface's MAC address. So for example if you had a few machines allowed on the internet you assign them fixed IPs and the others you allow to assign dynamically in a different range of your subnet. You still need the same filter (ipchains or iptables) settings to allow/disallow browsing for certain IP addresses. Or you could force all browsing through squid, and use it to control access (to some extent - not as flexible as iptables). Or both.
