Find out all the IPs AOL IM is using and block those. -----Original Message----- From: Leggett, Jeff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 1:31 PM To: 'souhela 8'; [email protected] Subject: RE: [FW1] stopping AOL instant messenger Honestly, I don't believe you can. IM will search for different ports if the main one it uses (5190) is blocked. I have seen it use SMTP, as well as others if you block it's primary port. Admitttedly, blocking the primary port will make the user go in and have to make it search, so if they don't do that - then you have blocked them. But that will not totally elimante IM from your LAN. The only sure way is if you have your desktops closed down so that users are unable to install software. -----Original Message----- From: souhela 8 [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 1:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [FW1] stopping AOL instant messenger Can someone please help me on this as soon as possible? I want to stop users from using AOL instant messenger. How can I stop this traffic through our firewall? I have one firewall server. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
