Hello all - I (and I presume many others) have had concerns brought to us about the bandwidth hogging apps & services, like Napster Music Community. As many have discovered, applications such as these can consume a good deal of a broadband connection, as users can serve up files from their own machines, subverting normal firewall configs that can prevent undesired behind-the-firewall serving. Since these apps are becoming more and more prevalent, as college students are huge collectors of digital music, and as bandwidth is always a concern, I am wondering what others in either the educational or business community are doing in light of this. Even having logistical information such as, "close ports x, x, and x" would be of assistance. I'd just like to have some ammunition in case others higher on the food chain ask for this to happen. While there *is* a big concern about copyright (lawsuits and such are in the works against Napster), but being part of an educational community, restricting services based on content is a *huge* can of worms that is dealt with at higher levels than where I function. I mostly need to know the technical end of stuff - Napster's site doesn't list any technical stuff like what ports are used. Thanks a bunch! -Ryan- Ryan Bek Help Desk Manager Office of Information Technology, Greensboro College Phone - (336) 272-7102 x354 FAX - (336) 271-6634
