On a similar subject, I am trying to block p2p on a soho router, a Linksys BEFSR41 to be exact. I know that the conenction is made via port 1214, but when I block that port internally and forward incoming requests to an invalid IP, the p2p app (iMesh) can still connect. Viewing firewall logs seems that the port used can dynamically change. Any ideas?

Blocking Kazaa and other P2P applications through port blocking has proven ineffective in our environment.

I highly recommend http://www.packeteer.com/ as it works on the application layer of the OSI model.

g'luck to those folks who have to fight this war as well

yeah, to do it even more - just yesterday UPS was here, giving her tracking software to install - instead of asking myself or the other person working - to which we are both techs - u know what she does

Lets THEM sit @ the computer and do it them selves (UPS) - they could of done anything, - put in a back door trojan, read files - she would not of known! -i mean u are letting someone from out side of the company VIEW trhe companies accoutants laptop freely! come on! - most companies would fire u on the spot for that type of thing!
