Hi there ,

I need to disable the function of file transfer of msn messenger ,
but chat will be allowed.

Can I use ipchains to do that ?
Can I block the ports used by msn messenger ? How to block them and
what ports should be blocked ?

any message from you will be appreciated.
thanks in advance

pamale

iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 6681 -j DROP
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 6900 -j DROP

if you still needto use messaging then dont block port 1863.

cheers.
