Good evening,

I was wondering if any of the technical bods could help me. I've recently discovered my daughter has been secretly downloading copyrighted music and films via Limewire on her laptop.

To save ourselves from the possibility of legal action, I'd like block all P2P traffic. I've been through her PC and deleted all the music, films, and Limewire, but I can't stop her loading it back on. Is there anything I can do on my Wireless Linksys router (WRT54GS), like blocking the port ranges which will disable P2P but hopefully leave everything else unaffected?

Sadly I'm unsure how P2P works, so I need a bit of help.

Many thanks.
