I have a cat5 network at home. I want to keep one of the rooms from
running napster like software that seems to send out a lot of outbound
traffic to many different IPs. Can I prevent this with my router
without limiting internet access?

Thanks.

It's quite difficult to limit internet access without limiting internet
access.

It's already been pointed out that this can't be done with that router. I
don't mean to contradict your premise of not limiting internet access, but
perhaps social engineering might work. If you find Napster-like traffic in
the router log, just prevent that system from accessing anything for one
week.

well.. i'm not sure if this was the result of what I did. But my
router does have a built in Firewall and I am able to limit what
ports can be accessed by computer on my subnet. I noticed the problem
was all outbound and to different ports going to countless IP
addresses. With my router, I created 3 new access rules limiting
access to ports 24 - 79 , 80-442 , and 444 to the max number on all my
IP addresses and the traffic stopped. I've tested and I have no
apparent problem surfing or serving.
