Block radio, streaming media and IM on Proxy 2.0

[bludbunny]

Hi crew

We have a minor issue at work right now - there seems to be a wave sweeping through the place of users who have suddenly decided that listening to the radio via the internet sounds better (?) and are using win media player to connect to anything to listen to. This has to be stopped, as already the last two invoices have been higher for our downloads. I also plan on blocking instant messengers, and other streaming media.

Now, we are using a win 2000 network (2000 server) and Microsoft Proxy 2.0 (with the win2k patch of course). Will good ol' dusty Proxy 2.0 do the job i have described?

cheers,

Brett

Try Q289267. You need to block the ports that use streaming.
