Thread: how to block p2p sofware

if dere is any way block p2p software ....or blok ports in my smartmt841......plz help me.............bcoz me n my brother both r connected frm same odem n he is using a lot of speed by p2p software.......so is dere any way to block it frm modeb ...plz suggest me ......or any way to block ports

There are lot of P2P soft and each one use any TCP/UDP ports to communicate with the other end. So creating a single access-list to control all these programs is impossible,

What type of P2P soft do they use? Try to findout the port and block outgoing and incoming traffic on that port.

hi
i m using lime wire n torrent

i know dere ports bt i dont know how i have to blok dem in modem mt841

in your modem.. go to the virtual server option.. there you would find a list of ports with ip addresses. just delete those entries and save/reboot .. you may also want to change the router password so that your brother wont open those ports again

Access your modem through http://192.168.1.1

Goto Advanced Tab, underwhich choose filters or firewall option to block the specific ports.

Limewire uses 6346
and also block all common torrent ports

You can do so by install a firewall, there are a lot of free firewalls on the web. google it.

i have type 4 modem of bsnl n dere is no option in modem to block specific port

Firewalls block specific ports. google for some free firewalls.

is there any option called firewall or so? paste screenshot after expanding all Tabs

no dere not any option to block specific port ............have u any idea abt type 4 modem .........reply me ..thanx

if you have virtual server, ports are automatically blocked ( in ppoe mode).. only those ports which are open in virtual server will be open.. the rest are blocked

am not using the same modem, can you paste the screen?

what username and password did u try?
