Probably the simplest pain free solution I can think of is to get a linksys WRT54G-L and flash it with DD-WRT firmware. Comes with a nifty drop-down menu in the access control page that allows you to block things by service. Not entirely sure *how* it works, but it seems to be very effective at blocking at the application layer....including bt and even skype. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
