Thanks to everyone who have advised me on how to kill Napster. I think
John Ladwig had the best statement when he wrote "Napster is a
fiendishly difficult application to try to defeat..."

That's definitely the consensus and leads me to believe that I'm going
to have to look at more than just firewall filtering to resolve the
issue. Perhaps a content filtering/monitoring server or customizable
IDS.

If I find any guaranteed fixes, I'll be sure to post them to the list.

Thanks again,

Andy
