Need to block ports for application.

[match0003]

I'm having a lot of trouble finding what ports an application uses. The application is called Voodo Chat, I want to block it for all of the wireless clients in my home (getting tired of them just sitting around on voodo and not doing anything done around the house ). I have a DGL-4500 router if that helps at all. Any help at all would be great.

Thanks
Bryce

Voodoo Chat server needs port 7777 open for incoming traffic.

Yes I have read that, when I log into my router and look at the traffic for the wireless clients I dont see anyone using that port. I will try it and see what happens. Thanks

It's for incoming, not outgoing traffic. Let us know how that turns out.

You can also use the software WinNetStat:

Can't you just remove the program from the computers.

I don't think that will work for my problem, from what I understand that program has to be installed on the computer with vodoo, the computers that I want to put on a schedule when that program is blocked and allowed are not mine. But thanks tho

Ok so I guess I'm kinda confused. I'm not sure how to set a schedule for when this program is allowed to run and when it is blocked. I have a DGL-4500 router.

In Lexington, we just threaten our users with violence.

LMAO yea I don't tend to threaten with violence, it just kinda happens lol. Well the background story to this whole thing is as follows. My wife has a huge heart and will try to help out any one she knows thats in a tight spot. So now I have a lazy brother in law, his girlfriend, and one of my wifes friends, all of which use vodoo chat. I'm getting tired of waking up, and seeing it, coming home from work, seeing it, going to bed, seeing it. So after the talks are not working out so great, I'm just going to put it on a scheduel and go from there. And if I blokc them from the internet all together I'm kinda screwing the two that do their college courses online so thats not really an option, well it is just not very nice :devil:

LOL. I can understand. So why can't you block the server ip address? Just ping the voodoo chat server, then set up your router to disallow that ip address.

Well one, I don't know how to do that. Two my wife uses it sometimes, her work schedule varies so I was trying to set it up so just the three wireless computers have no access. So I guess I need some help doing this in my router, I just made a bunch of different rules in the router to block the program, but it wont let me enable the rules because the ports overlap on the different IP's.
