It is not possible to block the BitTorrent protocol, as the client applications have the ability to use different port numbers. I suggest one of the following courses of actions:
1) Added deny entries to your outbound access-list that block the specific IP addresses of the torrent trackers. For example:
tracker.thepiratebay.org = 77.247.176.145 tv.tracker.thepiratebay.org = 77.247.176.154 tracker.mininova.org = 87.233.147.137
2) Re-configure your outbound access-lists to allow only services required for business activities. For example, allow only http, https, and ftp, instant messaging from all your network. Allow only dns from your DNS servers. Allow only smtp from your mail server.

Laptop suddenly loses connectity on port but IP phone stays connected with no problem. Will not recover until a reboot of the 5505. I move the laptop to the phone port and the laptop reconnect instantly. move back to the PC port and it fails to get the dhcp address. defaults to some strange address. Reboot the unit and everything is perfect for days. Please help
