Probably budget. Makes me sick when companies rely entirely on there electronic data, don't realize and when IT tries to propose a solution to protect them from disaster, they blow it off like it is no big deal. Can't budget for that. Meanwhile IT is spending weekends cleaning up a mess that could have been avoided by a measly 20 Grand. We fix the problem that could have cost the company millions of dollars but get absolutely no recognition for it. We don't fix the problem we are on the unemployment line because of some shmuckola CEO that refuses to believe that it was his decision of not implementing security that caused the company to lose vital data. When is the business world going to realize that IT is as important as accounts receivables? It gets really annoying that we IT professionals play major roles in company day to day operations and get profiled as quiet, secluded, seat warmers that do nothing but stare at monitors all day. When in fact we are the fire fighters of the business world.
Sorry just needed to vent a little.

You may have better luck starting your search from http://www.microsoft.com/security. 7. There are cheap Firewall/Router products for Home use ($150-$400 US). I may just clean up my unused pentum box and install linux to do the job. My point is "Is it possible do it within w2k WITHOUT firewall box?" Cannot believe w2k have no ability to disable and block certain port by itself...
