Hi! Thanks for so many people in this list input. Security is I concern, but budge is too. This box is for home use which link to internet 24 hours thr cable modem. I got individal nic to access my internal boxdx and exteranl with NAT. I did see some acccess from outside to this box thr port 135 by w2k network monitor. I saw many articles talking about the possible virus or dos attack thr this port on internet.
I study linux also. It is very easy to block a port in linux (please no fight for this top, just a personal opinion) However I use w2k most of time. Thus I look for how to do the same thing in w2k to protect my property. I tried to use IPSEC. There are only three choice 1. Cleint 2. Secure Server 3. Server I do not what which option REALLY mean, what it try to protect or perfrom. I do not see there is an option I can specify blocking port 135 on which IP or which nic. Same problem when I try TCP/Ip filter. The apply is for ALL ADAPTERS Before I spend $100 to $400 for a firewall box or a firewall program, I just hope some one can give me a confirmation that "Blocking a port in w2k with native program is not doable" Thanks for every one input.

IPSEC has packet filtering capabilities that can be linked to an IP address without utilizing any of the security features of IPSEC.
