They are specifiable on the server side. And most server operators run on default ports as it is easier to connect. But you are right. An organization policy of no games is better. You could maybe also see if a tool like esniff (not free) or tcpdump (free) would work to track people down. - James -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Todd Suiter Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2002 8:21 PM To: James Cc: 'Walter Gray'; [email protected] Subject: RE: Blocking Internet Gaming Problem with that is you can spec those ports pretty much at will. This came up on the [email protected] list last week. Policy is a good place to start. Make it obvious that your org does not approve of this type of thing. Then start looking at tcpdump output to find the ports/people, and go from there. toddler On Sun, 6 Jan 2002, James wrote: > > What kind of games specifically? > > Like online Java games (Bejeweled)?
