Disable chatting

MSN, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger all use ports to provide there services. Block these ports and you will disable access to these services.

A list of ports:

Go into IIS and select Winsock Proxy properties. Select the Permissions tab. This is where you can enable or disable all port access. Scroll through and you will see most of the services you mentioned. Yahoo is not there so you would now select the protocols tab and add the yahoo service. You will have to do some homework and find the specific ports and protocols for the service you wish to add. Good Luck.

The easiest way to handle it is to disable ALL ports but those that are actually needed (generally 80, 81 and 443).

Please give port addresses of these chat sites also
