    RE: I can only block IP addresses, not URLs

    Open a command prompt and type </p>

    nslookup webmessenger.msn.com</p>

    to get the IP.</p>

    My DNS reports it as 65.54.239.22</p>

    and messenger.hotmail.com</p>

    comes out as 207.46.28.93</p>

    Try the nslookup to ensure you get the same results and if so, block outbound traffic from all internal IP's 192.168.*.* to these two addresses.</p>
