Here's some useful information for the people who use p2p networks:

I don't know i fyou know but recording studios have "robots" which are checking
and identifying ip ranges on p2p networks which fileshare (upload/download)

PPL BLOCK THESE IPRANGE IN UR FIREWALLS!!:
These are the "dangerous" IPranges. They monitor p2p networks in an attempt to
harvest IP's/upload files from file-sharers and then report the user to their ISP.

Thanks for the news. What I find funny is that even the people that swear they don't steal anything, most have the Devils Own CORP version WinXP and download tunes P2P.

I was helping at a small church school and they had Win98 on about 10 computers. I asked about their licence and they said they applied for a FREE one, but had not heard back from M$. I would guess they are still waiting.

Hmm, interesting I haven't seen any updates to this in a few days... any new info? Also most hardware firewall/routers don't give you the flexability to block ip's individually or in a range like that, so are you using software firewalls to make this happen? If so what do you find to be the best? i.e.

Black ice, zona alarm, norton? What?

Very interesting Server....... have you tried this one? Anyone else? I'll have to give it a look myself.

If any others have reviewed it please post your findings....

I hope this is for real. 39 new general rules in the firewall took a while to get correct...
Thanks!
