For the older versions I don't think it would do HTTP tunneling, so I just 
blocked the ports and server IPs it used. Here's the list of IPs and ports 
I had blocked back then (in fact still do, although I also run nmap from 
time to time across the network looking for anything out of the ordinary, 
although my LAN is now much smaller and everyone knows I keep tabs on what 
software they have installed!).

the last one being all outgoing connections on 6699.

Nope, I just blocked the above which I found on a site somewhere when 
digging around for ways to block Napster. If I had to do it again I'd 
probably run something like Snort which allows you to look for specific 
data in the packets to identify Napster (and other apps) no matter what 
the destination IP or port and return the packets to close or deny the 
connection to the local machine, then the responses from the real 
destination would be ignored as the connection would already be closed. 
Obviously to do this you would need Snort running on a machine that could 
see all packets being passed from the inside to the internet so placing it 
is fun in a switched network.
