Fixed.

Yeah, it's like they think it's transparent and isn't logged or noticed. "oh! I'll teach those dumb IT people, I'll just use a proxy!!!! I'm uber smart!"

clearly this is incompetence in management forecasting and allocating bandwidth and it infrastructure

clearly you don't understand the nature of streaming media and more importantly the acceptable use policy of the business in question.

Why don't you suggest to bring some music on a USB drive and listen to it from there?

Just a T1, I would ban all internet traffic too. How many users do you have?

Did you ask if they wanted any cheese with their whine?

^ for update.

 

[zixxer]

I deal with this every single day. It's amazing that there are so many people that don't seem to care at all about their job - warned 2-3 times for streaming, sent home, then come back and install p2p.. WTF.

clearly you aren't a network admin and your opinion is worthless.

This is exactly what I did at my work, and no problems at all. Although, it's most likely because the IT guy doesn't particularly care.

Thanks.

User;

We block music sites because it puts an unneeded load on our network, the load can interfere with business applications. The only thing I can suggest is to use a radio to listen to music, if your manager approves.

Can you not throttle bandwidth? Streaming sites really aren't that bad (32-128k) in comparison to P2P...that's the real network killers. And it's not always bandwidth....they just generate so many connections.....even when the users aren't running the P2P applications. (the P2P server spontaniously checks to see if the users still exist....I'm refering to BT for the most part, but others do it too)

All it takes is 10-15 @ 128kbps users streaming to bring a T1 to it's knees. Not sure what kind of WAN connection they have... but im with the OP on this one.

yip, we have a T-1 but a DS3 is in the works and we should have it installed soon. but the internet radio is still going to be blocked. its a waste of network resources.

seems kinda unfair to me..... maybe the office should spring for satellite radio to please everyone.........

UPDATE**
18 June
OK I thought the Pandora thing was bad enough, this takes the cake. I get a MOM alert for a new host, check out the dns logs and the thing is hitting a bunch of playstation URLs. Hummmm, this is strange it almost looks like somebody plugged a playstation into the network. So I call the office, I ask for a manager and the guy tells me they do not have an on site manager. I tell the guy it looks like there is a playstation on the network, his response.... "Is that going to be a problem?"... my response.. "Ya! Disconnect it".

:roll:

here is the alert.

New MAC XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (vendor: Sony Computer Entertainment inc.) found.

Ever consider Port Security? Unrocognized MAC address = no traffic on that switch port...
no pluggy in playstation or unauthorized laptop...

I would've died at my last job if they had banned streaming.
