If you have implemented a NetMAX FireWall/Professional as your internal network's gateway to the Internet, you should be able to prevent your users from accessing the Instant Messenger servers by adding the following firewall rules to your internal network interface:

ActionTypeFrom AddressMaskPort To AddressMaskPortDirectionSYNNotes
denytcpNetwork IP  205.188.7.164  input Block internal users from AIM server
denytcpNetwork IP  205.188.7.168  input Block internal users from AIM server
denytcpNetwork IP  205.188.7.172  input Block internal users from AIM server
denytcpNetwork IP  205.188.7.176  input Block internal users from AIM server
denytcpNetwork IP  205.188.3.160  input Block internal users from AIM server
denytcpNetwork IP  205.188.3.176  input Block internal users from AIM server
denytcpNetwork IP  205.188.5.204  input Block internal users from AIM server
denytcpNetwork IP  205.188.5.208  input Block internal users from AIM server

If these rules fail to block users from using AOL Instant Messanger query the name servers to find if there are any other IP addresses for login.oscar.aol.com. You can do this by using this command on the linux command line:

nslookup login.oscar.aol.com
