Thanks Pete. Unfortunately, that code doesn't seem to be working. I've placed the commands right after the enable masquerading commands, but no luck - we can still connect and send messages....
I even looked up what server we were connecting to (messenger.hotmail.com), found it's IP (207.46.104.20), and changed the second line. Still no luck. (and there are no #'s in the script either...) Thanks anyways.

To block MSN messenger: # iptables -A FORWARD -p TCP --dport 1863 -j DROP # iptables -A FORWARD -d 64.4.13.0/24 -j DROP < Somebody that can confirm those 2 lines? > They still can use web-enabled chat services... And what if a user know how to port-redirect ... ? My opinion : don't block it, educate/ask users, log, detect misuse, warn, and give pink slip so that he/she can use MSN @ home all day...
