Will the end-game of WAR really, truly be PvP / RvR? WoW was just a PvP tease on top of a quest and loot-oriented PvE game, and it lost the hardcore PvP crowd. Will WAR abandon DAoC's PvP/RvR roots just to appeal to the masses of carebears out there?
Your first step is to block NetBIOS from the Internet. For more information about the University of Connecticut's efforts to do so, check out this site: http://security.uconn.edu/windows_block.html. NetBIOS should not be allowed to traverse WAN links, and you need to work on the network managers at your school ASAP to convince them to block it. Once that block is in place you can move on to fancier methods (local policies, Nessus scans, IDS, etc), but until this is blocked everything else will have you chasing your own tail in circles cleaning up after a constant string of compromised hosts.
If you are serious about this and want help, email security@uconn.nospam.edu and I am sure they will be glad to give you some advice.:)
