    I want all the computers to interact with each other, but only selected computers to use internet.

    As far as DHCP is concerned I enabled it and gave only few start ip and end ip add.

    you have to use some software(like firewall) to block net access on selected computers.also give more details like how LAN is setup with modem/router/switches/hubs etc.

    A commercial router has option to allow or block internet access using MAC ids. Even some home routers have the function. Check whether your router provides this funtion (from the user manual).

    Another option is to install Windows Proxy Server and then you can control which computers get internet access.
