Use a sniffer and watch which ports are being used. I cannot tell you which ports, because the corporate firewall that I manage is not SuSEs Firewall2, but I have only defined which ports to accept outbound (SMTP, HTTP(S), etc) and Kazaa does not work here.
The problem is that these programs can change ports. Even well known ports like 80 443 25 etc may be used. I don't know if Kazaa can do this but I have seen programs speaking perfect http over port 80 that are in no other way related to the www.
How about using proxies? AFAIK, proxy server can't handle anything else than what they have been developped for. :) Example: A firewall redirects port 80 and 443 to port 3128, where squid listens. I have never seen a P2P user breaking this barrier... :) -- CU, Christoph Egger M&L Computing GmbH
