We have a 2003 server connecting 15 Windows XP computers on our network. We have
also many part time college students working in our company. Lately it the network
with its 9 Windows 2000 PC and 6 Win XP PC has been annoyingly slow and performing
sluggishly. It is slower than before especially in the late afternoon hours when
our part time workers show up. Our technician set out what caused the reduction in
bandwidth by sniffing the Internet network traffic. Not much to his surprise, he
found out that many of our youthful employees were cheerfully using real player to
download streaming music videos. My question is: a) should I use a proxy server to
block the appropriate port b) use a firewall to block the RealPlayer IP address c)
use a firewall to block RTSP port which is 554 d) or use a NAT server to block the
protocol that Real Player uses (RTSP)? I shall appreciate you input to this seemingly
easy question but apparently not that simple.
