But your napster client has to log into the napster servers to indicate that
you have MP3s to share. Otherwise who would know? I don't know how you
have it blocked on a Proxy server. maybe only allowing outbound connections
to be initiated? But the internal users can still get to napster servers
and pull MP3s down. I have a put in many a MS Proxy server and provided the
WinSock proxy client is on the desktops, napster is readily available.
