The difficulty here is that many, if not all these applicatiuons now play a 'find an open port' game, port blocking no longer works for most these toys. What has been working is to find out what servers the users have to login to and block access to those machines. For AIM, one should get decent results blocking these machines: 205.188.7.168 205.188.7.172 205.188.7.176 205.188.7.164 Thanks, Ron DuFresne On Mon, 18 Dec 2000, sim wrote:
I am trying to stop Messenger services (AOL Messenger and MSN Messenger. Any others?) to and from my network. Is this possible with ipchains i.e. block the ports they use? Is there any other way? I am using a Sparc machine running Redhat 6.2 kernel 2.2.17 w/ ipchains. How would I go about doing this? Any help would be appreciated. sim _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () nfr com http://www.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
