How to block Limewire from network

I am set up with Comcast Internet using a RCA Modem, 4port Microsoft MN-500 Router and a 16port D-Link Switch

I need to block people from connecting to Limewire/any P2P in general. I host LAN parties and I don't want people wasting my bandwidth on P2p..

Is there anything I can do on the router/server side? I don't wanna have to install software everytime someone comes over and hooks up their PC...

why? if you have a old box kicking around run Fedora Core and Squid. Both open source and easy to install and configure. It will bring you the protection to the internet that you exactly need.

Should you be using p2p if you do not want to share your legal files. It sounds a selfish attitude to me.

He's not using P2P; that's the whole point of his question... He wants to COMPLETELY block P2P on his network, not prevent people from accessing his shared files.

But anyway, back on topic, I used to use 602LAN Suite for a similar purpose, but now use Squid on a SME Server box... The free version of 602LAN Suite only supports 5 users, so I dont know if that will accomodate your needs.
