Oops, I guess the bad spelling is evidence that I shouldn't reply passed my bedtime.
Ohio University's network staff have had the ability to turn off the Ethernet ports to individual computers for some time. They have been using this to disable all Internet access for computers that have been infected by malicious software.
It sounds to me like they will use the same method to stop file sharing. So internal file sharing will not work. When a computer is blocked it is completely removed from the Ethernet or wireless network.
