I would like to put a rule in to block MSN Messenger, I take it the port is 1863? But I have been told by someone else that MSN uses two ports, could someone give me some advice on what other port it would be? Where in the rule base would I impliment this rule. Also Hotmail.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
MSN Messenger uses port 1863 to log into the MSN servers, and to initiate message traffic.
After that - a lot of port 80 traffic is used for showing other users, displaying ads, etc...

If you block port 1863, users will not be able to log into the MSN Messenger servers, and will not be able to use the program at all.

Good Luck.

No you can't log in with two user names but if you try a Program called "Trillion" you can do this. However, it doesn't yet have support for video and sound.
