Maybe you need to tighten your firewall all the way! If all these ports are
open, you are vulnerable. Close off all ports, and open what you need from a
business standpoint - that will vary by what your organization does and what
internet access you allow. But it sounds like you are way to generous right
now.

Subject: Stopping File Sharing Programs...


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


Hello Everyone,

Our connection to the Internet these days is getting bogged down as
quite a few users are using P2P progs to share/download files. Initially
the problem was just one: Kazaa. We were able to stop user access to
Kazaa by blocking the port 1214. Users currently use a whole set of
filesharing programs.. Morpheus, Kazaa, Gnutella, Bearshare etc. etc.
Yes, it is possible to keep track of the programs being used, block each
one individually etc.

Would there be some kind of a generic way to block such P2P progs?

Regards
Dhar
