Block MSN/WLM Webcam Ports

[FlibbyFlobby]

I'm looking for a way to prevent Webcams from working in MSN Messenger. Preferably I would like to block the ports for it if possible on my router. Problem is I can't seem to find the port numbers to block. Also, I'd like to do it without preventing instant messaging from working.

So is there absolutely no way I can do this? I've googled for the webcam port, but I seem to get large ranges that when blocked prevent other applications from working. Is there no definitive webcam port for WLM?

That's correct. WLM will just open a different port if you block the port it was trying to use, but here's the list anyway:

Webcam and Video Conversations TCP 80

TCP/UDP 5000 - 65535

Yeah. They're the ports I tried, they interfere with my IRC client connection too. Bit annoying they didn't specify a port specifically for webcam.
