Hello Gurus, I am trying to block MSN and Yahoo Instant Messengers with my LAN using IPTABLES. Following commands are used to block them but unsuccessful. /sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -s 192.168.5.85 --dport 1863 -j REJECT /sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -s 192.168.5.85 -d 64.4.0.0/18 -j REJECT /sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -d cs.yahoo.com -j REJECT /sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -d scsa.yahoo.com -j REJECT Anyone help in blocking them through IPTABLES.
