Blocking p2p or setting up a firewall to only allow certain programs?

Hello there,
I have a wireless dual-n router (WRT610N) and a cable modem (CM100) both from linksys.
My problem is that we live in an aprtment with 6 people and sometimes the connection crawls even with 2-3 people using the internet. My concern is that my roommates are file sharing like hell sometimes and eating all the bandwith. We're talking 20second to load the google main page slow, no person should be making the network that slow when it's just me and them using it.
So I'm interested in options to block access to bandwith killing activities. Friends have recommended that I set up a firewall and only permit certain programs access but I have no idea how to go about doing this. Another option would be if their was just a way to limit their bandwith, I already have my computer set with the highest prioriety on the network and it doesn't help.
Please let me know of any solutions you can suggest for this problem it sucks to be dishing out extra for highspeed internet + powerboost just to have all of fizzle away the second the connection hits the router.  

You cannot limit their computer's bandwidth, however if you know what time they are using the bandwidth and downloading from Internet you may block the Internet access for them using the Access Restrictions, you can enter their MAC Addresses and schedule a time when you want to Deny Internet Access for them...

  • Want to block P2P application using ASA5540

    I want to block P2P application & IM using ASA with IPS built-in. I dont wanna use the ACL for all the ports because most of the P2P application using dynamic ports.

    Aamir,
    You can do this using the application layer inspection on the firewall.
    Please take a look at the configuration guide given below.

  • Howto block p2p traffic of clients connected to the same ssid on different wlc

    Hi all,
    I use two wlc 4400 (4.2.x version) with a mobility domain and one ssid, both wlc are connected to a cisco l2 switch infrastructure. On the wlc I use the p2p blocking action 'drop' (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/5.2/configuration/guide/c52wlan.html#wp1209597) to isolate the clients from each other. Does anybody know if only unicast traffic is blocked or also multicast and broadcast traffic like arp requests?
    Concerning blocking p2p traffic of clients connected to the same ssid but different controllers I found the following statement in the LAP FAQs (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/products_qanda_item09186a00806a4da3.shtml):
    ===
    Q. In autonomous APs, Public Secure Packet Forwarding (PSPF) is used to avoid client devices associated to this AP from inadvertently sharing files with other client devices on the wireless network. Is there any equivalent feature in Lightweight APs?
    A. The feature or the mode that performs the similar function of PSPF in lightweight architecture is called peer-to-peer blocking mode. Peer-to-peer blocking mode is actually available with the controllers that manage the LAP. If this mode is disabled on the controller (which is the default setting), it allows the wireless clients to communicate with each other through the controller. If the mode is enabled, it blocks the communication between clients through the controller. It only works among the APs that have joined to the same controller. When enabled, this mode does not block wireless clients terminated on one controller from the ability to get to wireless clients terminated on a different controller, even in the same mobility group.
    ===
    Does anybody know what's the best practise to prevent this inter wlc client traffic? I already read about using acls on the wlc dynamic interfaces, or private vlans on the l2 switch vlans where the dynamic interfaces are connected to. Is it allowed to completely isolate the wlc from each other on these dynamic interfaces with acls or private vlans or do the wlc need to see each other on this interfaces (e.g. heart beat)?
    Many thanks in advance,

    Hi Sasha,Thorsten
    The bug is Junked and I believe which is what you are running into with your tests:
    CSCtr60787    WLC P2P Blocking Set to Forward-UpStream Doesn't Work.
    Bugtoolkit : http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/action.do?hdnAction=searchBugs
    To answer your original query :
    ACL is only solution to block client communication on same ssid between 2 wlcs. 5508 works better with ACLs then 44xx platform.
    ARP requests will be forwarded to upstream router just like any other traffic. WLC won't proxy arp for clients on same vlan.
    Gateway arp's I believe should be handled by WLC . ( Don't quote me on this but I am pretty sure it is ) ..If it was not, then how would client know about gw ?
    Multicast traffic is not applicable for p2p.
    Your ACL can be as simple as this for the scenario :
    WLC 1 - clientvlan = 10
    WLC 2 - clientvlan = 10
    and you want to restrict users from wlc1-wlc1, wlc1-wlc2, wlc2-wlc2 for same vlan10.
    Basically in that case the ACL should look like on both WLCs :
    1. Permit statement to talk to gateway.
    2. Deny to subnet.
    3. Permit all.
    4. If DHCP/DNS other services are on same subnet then you would need to add a permit
    statement before the deny.
    5. Attach the ACL to SSID or dymanic interface.
    Thanks..Salil

  • Blocking p2p on router 877

    Hi,
    Can anyone suggest how can I effectively block p2p traffic like Ares, Limewire or other with Cisco IOS 12.4(6) or higher? I tried NBAR but I guess there is no PDLM available for Ares for instance.
    Many thanks for any suggestions.
    Remi

    Hi,
    to block p2p traffic you need to block all ports except these you really need.
    For example block all ports except http, https, smtp, pop3, dns.
    Becouse some of the p2p applications use port 80 to connect there is an options in firewall(classic or Zone-Based Policy Firewall) called protocol-violation and port-missue!
    This options prevent non-HTTP traffic over port 80.
    For Zone-Based Firewall reffer to this link:

    We have taken two ASA with AIP card, and have configured Active/Active , but user are using p2p and tunneling softwares . how can we block p2p and tunneling traffic ..
    plz anyone reply me..........
    regards

    If you are using Firewall software 12.4(9)T and above, it has integrated policies to block or rate limit p2p application traffic using dynamically updateable application
    definitions for newer p2p applications. KaZaA, Gnutella, BitTorrent, and eDonkey are currently supported.

    Hi SAP collegues,
    At my site, BPC Excel created this problem too "Object Variable or With Block Variable not set" .
    It turned out that this is symptom of a a dys-functioning BPC COM Plug-in in XL2007 or XL2010!
    This is a consequence that your Excel recently crashed while using BPC. And it relates to an Excel Add-in becoming disabled when the applications crashes.  Please check the following.
    Note before doing the following, close all other open Excel and BPC sessions.
    Within Excel go to File à Options
    Select the Add-Ins option on the left
    Select the <<COM Add-ins >> option in the Manage drop down, and click Go
    Make sure that the Planning and Consolidation option is selected.  If not, mark this box and click OK.
    If you do not see anything listed, return to the Add-in screen and select the Disabled Items option, and see if Planning and Consolidation is listed there.
    Let me know if you have any queries,

  • Error while deleting loc - Object variable or With block variable not set

    I could not delete some of the existing locations in the HyperionFDM and it results in the error Object variable or With block variable not set.

    Hi,
    There can be several reasons for it, for now I would suggest you:
    This error generally comes because:
    Cause
    The user that logs on workbench does not have write access to the Financial Data Quality Management application shared folder.
    Solution
    Log onto the machine where the Financial Data Quality Management application files are located. You can locate this path by performing the following:
    a) At the FDM Login page choose <Add Application> and login
    b) Highlight the FDM Application in question and click the "Modify" button
    c) The application path field displays the location of the application folder
    2. Go the shared folder, right click and go to Properties -> Sharing -> Permissions and add the user to the Share Permissions and grant "Change" at a minimum.
    Please check and let me know
    I would suggest you to post FDM related posts in Financial Data Management

  • Error: object variable or with block variable not set when creating journal

    Hello
    When I try to create a new journal, I get an error "object variable or with block variable not set"
    This is happening with some computers but not all of them, the same user can create a journal in some computers.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling BPC office client but that did not work.
    Do you have any other ideas ?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
       You have to check first  if you are able to access the reporting service frm that speific client machine typing:
    http://<reporting server name>/reports. If all is woking well , you have to check also the number of default sheets for an empty excel sheet (should be 3) - I ma not sure what version are you using.
        If still not work, please let me know when exactly the error appear, when you try to open the template (clicking on journal option) or after when you fill the report, save it, so on.
    Best regards,

  • Object variable or With Block variable not set

    Hi - We have saved a working input schedule to a new name and modified it to use for another company.  There is a report tab to bring down the historical units from BPC, a tab to trend the history, and a tab that references the other two tabs to forecast the units into the future and send the forecasted units back up to BPC.  The input schedule that was saved to a new name and modified works fine until we attempt to Send and Refresh the active worksheet on the forecast tab.   When we do so, it indicates the number of records that will be sent, but when it attempts to Process the upload to BPC we receive an error message that indicates  Object variable or With Block variable not set  and no records are sent to BPC.
    We have retested the original input template that was copied and the original template still transfers data successfully to BPC.  We have also tried starting with a blank input template and copying in the formulas from the working template and we still get the same error message.  
    We have read several postings on this error and it seems to be a pretty general error, and so far none of the suggestions have worked for us.  One suggested checking for special characters, but the only non alpha non-numeric characters used are dashes in the values of one of the dimensions and spaces and underlines in the formulas used to forecast the units, but both of these are present and don't seem to cause any problem in the working input schedule. 
    We are currently on BPC 7.5 SP6 and using Excel 2010.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    >Note 1494285 seems to be in reference to BPC for Microsoft and we are using NetWeaver.
    Sorry, 1513080 is for NW (there's link to it in bottom of 1494285) :
    - Currently only BPC 7.5 NW SP05 and above support Office 2010
    - Note: BPC NW 7.5 NW cannot work on office 2010 (64-bits), office 2010 (64-bits) is not supported.
    Check your proxy settings (note 1592560: Getting "Error 91 Object variable or with block variable after upgrade to SP06" in the Excel Client.)
    Try 1576893: After upgrading to SP06, the EVDRE reports stop working.
    PS. Maybe I wrong, but some problems with 2010 Office clients in our system dissapear after patching to SP08.

  • Object variable or with block variable not set- while trying to submit data

    Hi Gurus,
    Could you share me the solution to resolve the issue?
    I am getting an error "object variable or with block variable not set" while trying to submit data through an Input schedule.
    I am working on SAP BPC 7.5 NW and using MS Excel 2007.
    I can log in to BPC Admin and excel with my user id and password.
    I checked my security profile and i have the submit data task in my task profile. My all other Input Schedules are working very well. Only one of the IS is causing this problem. The same input Schedule when saved as Dynamic Template it works well and data is sent successfully.
    Regards,
    KumarMG

    Hi Kumar,
    This might be incase you have some special character like & in the input schedule template. you need to remove the special character in that case.
    Hope this resolves your issue.

  • Object variable or With block variable not set (Error 91)

    I am not a developer, however i have to help to run a VB program.
    when using a local administrator to run this program there will be error :
    Object variable or With block variable not set (Error 91)
    however using a DOMAIN Administrator to run without problem.
    any idea

    Do you have the source code? The error itself is a nullreference error. It means the code is trying to use some object to access a property of method of that object, but the object is currently null so it fails. The fact that it runs different when you run
    as a domain admin versus local admin could mean that it does something via a network location or resource, and when running as a domain admin, it has access to that resource and succeeds, but the local admin doesn't have access to the needed resource, and
    the code doesn't check to see if the object is null before using it. If you don't have the source code, then it will be difficult to fix, other than giving the local admin the ability to access whatever it is the program is looking to access.
