How do I block Limewire on my network

inferno · 3 Feb 2008 at 19:57

We have a guy staying at our house and his company made him sign a contract saying that he would not download anything illegal. Today I log onto itunes and find 'blahblah shared network' tab and click on it and find 13 gigs of music and some porn. My worry is if this guy has it all available to upload on limewire :eek:

It's on his laptop so he could possibly have downloaded it during the weekends at home using limewire but he spends 5 days a week at our house so unlikely.

We currently use BT homehub router, but also have a Dlink router, is it possible to block limewires port using the router?

You should be able to just block the default ports in the router config page, although he could change the ports he is using.

Not sure if he is smart enough to block them, can i detect p2p traffic and block it automatically on any port?

Probably not on a BT Homehub - I've only used them a few times so can't say for sure though.

Might be worth asking on here - http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=418613
