Firewall & WLM

Hi,
what are the methods to block WLM in a HW firewall if it uses dynamic port
to connect?
thanks

Greetings Leo,

Actually Messenger will only use ports 1863 or 80 to connect. Of course 80 is the standard
web port so you probably don't want to block that.

If possible, blocking messenger.hotmail.com should do the trick.
