RE: stop microsoft p2p

["Sloane, David" <DSloane () vfa com>]

Robert,

I don't quite understand the topology in question - it seems it must be one
of two ways.

A. Is it like this, where you control LANSwitch?

LANSwitch
    |
    |
    |--Hub-----CPU1
        |
        |
       CPU2

In this case, I don't think there's anything you can do to prevent CPU1
talking to CPU2 across Hub.


B. Or like this, where you control LANSwitch?

LANSwitch
 |     |
 |     |
 CPU1  CPU2

In this case you might use VLAN's or access lists to control CPU1-to-CPU2
communications, depending on the switch involved and other requirements.  In
a more extreme case, you could replace the switch with a firewall, but this
would usually be cost-prohibitive.

Subject: [fw-wiz] stop microsoft p2p


Anyone heard of a device or gizmo that replaces a hub or switch that can 
stop p2p or microsoft file sharing? scenario: two computers on the same 
segment connected via a hub or switch sharing files between themselves. 
Does not have to be music, could be data files, photos, copywritten data 
etc.. Can that be stopped?
