Re: [FW1] stopping AOL instant messenger
Souhela 8,
You need to first to an nslookup for 'login.oscar.aol.com(below).'
This hostname is the server that AOL Instant Messenger clients
login to.
> login.oscar.aol.com
Server: UnKnown
Address: 172.16.16.254
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: login.oscar.aol.com
Addresses: 205.188.7.176, 205.188.7.164, 205.188.7.168, 205.188.7.172
Then you need to create an object for each IPaddress that responds for
login.oscar.aol.com. Put each object into a group, you can call it 'AIM
Servers.' Then you need to create a rule which drops traffic to those
servers(below).
Src Dst Srv Act Trk
'LAN' 'AIM Servers' Any Drop Log
You should be all set.
Thanks,
