Re: pb with P2P...

Hi
Depending on your budget and the amount of users you have I would suggest
looking into a packet shaper such as http://www.packeteer.com/  .  We have
had tremendous success using this device to block all file sharing on our
network, especially on the student side.  It allows you to manage classes of
traffic and set priorities on packets.  Takes a little bit of tweaking, but
their support has been superb.
