My firewall notes say blocking tcp/1863 will foil the MSN Messenger. Note that AOL IM, newer versions of ICQ, and Yahoo IM all use arbitrary ports on dedicated servers, so you have to block IP addresses instead. Fortunately, you can lookup the IP addresses via DNS (assuming your firewall supports such things). -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
