login.oscar.aol.com has a lot more than two IPs. use the GET ADDRESS button in the Net Object Properties with login.oscar.aol.com in the Name box. keep hitting this button and writing down all IPs until you see the pattern repeat itself. (check regularly, too (like once every two months), as AOL may move/add/change login servers). then create objects for each of the IPs that you found. drop them into a group, and add that group to your rulebase. i have never been able to successfully block the AIM service by blocking ports. besides, i think that the user can change the source port to use in AIM options, anyways.

That's pretty much what I've found as well.. in the case of AOL IM, I blocked all outbound traffic to the two IP addreses for login.oscar.aol.com, fired up an AIM client on a workstation and told it to "find a way around the firewall". It tried pretty damn hard, but was unable to connect.

Can someone confirm this for me? thanks, dean ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag ================================================= To set vacation, Out Of Office, or away messages, send an email to [email protected] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [email protected] ================================================= ================================================= To set vacation, Out Of Office, or away messages, send an email to [email protected] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [email protected] ================================================= ================================================= To set vacation, Out Of Office, or away messages, send an email to [email protected] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [email protected] =================================================
