I assume that either you do not have a corporate policy that explicitly
forbids use of p2p filesharing software, or you do have a policy but
just don't properly enforce it with appropriate punishment.
a strictly enforced corporate policy is the best way to stop p2p
filesharing use. make an example out of somebody.

Hello Everyone,
Our connection to the Internet these days is getting bogged down as
quite a few users are using P2P progs to share/download files. Initially
the problem was just one: Kazaa. We were able to stop user access to
Kazaa by blocking the port 1214. Users currently use a whole set of
filesharing programs.. Morpheus, Kazaa, Gnutella, Bearshare etc. etc.
Yes, it is possible to keep track of the programs being used, block each
one individually etc.
Would there be some kind of a generic way to block such P2P progs?
Regards
Dhar
