Firewall ports

[wijcc]

Hey guys, need advice on what ports to block on a firewall (hardware) to block P2P filesharing apps like limewire etc. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance guys

as far as im aware the p2p apps can choose which port they use, at least i can with utorrent.

Instead of specificaly blocking ports you dont want used, why not block all ports, and specificaly open the ports you will use, that way you know only the stuff you want to be used will be used.

Also look at blocking the range of IP's/domains they connect to. It takes a bit of research (open p2p program and check your netstat etc)
