I found some info, they say to block 1214, but others say kazaa just 
uses a diffrent port if that one is blocked. I don't know enough about 
how Kazaa works to know if thats true. If it connects to a central 
server or not (like napster) first if so maybe blocking that can stop 
it... Let me know what you find I'll keep looking too.

Thanks
Justin
