What port/subnet do i need to block? I would assume it tunnels it through http, port 80. Netscape might not be too useful if you just block that one. App developers are making assigned ports pointless. They use port 80 for everything so it "just works" without having people have to whine at their firewall administrators to get the ports open for the app. Stateful packet filter firewalls be will totally obsolete soon (if they aren't already). We'll all have to run a http proxy on the local box. -- Crist J.
