buy a router, like linksys, then hardcode the ip addresses , then u can restrict wan access to whoever u want, i saw a thread in hot deals for 49 bucks, so might be worth it, I already have one and it works great. good luck.
If the people who are using the computers that you do not want to have Internet access are not familiar you could just remove TCP/IP from their computers and allow file sharing over NetBeui. Since ICS will only work over TCP/IP they cannot access the Internet. Just make sure to disable DHCP on their computers. If you only TCP/IP for network access just remove the gateway IP and any DNS server IPs, and again diable DHCP. This also will stop Internet access on their computers. Otherwise the router option would work the best and you can't beat the price either.
Nightowl hit it on the head. Just don't allow TCP/IP protocol to exist for internet access but transfer files via good 'ol netbeui or just even IPX for lan games
Additionaly, proxy software on the server that you are serving up the ICS could be used. I think zonealarm works. Just go to the advanced tab in the app and tweak it to your liking.
g'luck
