Have you tried the "RestrictAnonymous=2" setting for IPC$ enumeration? It still allows for most communications required within a Win2000 networked environment, But will reject an anonymous IPC$ session creation (i.e. - net use \\x.x.x.x\ipc$ ""/user:""). I believe the only other way to eliminate IPC$ without removing NetBIOS functionality completely is within the registry, I am not sure of the exact key. Keep in mind that if you disable IPC$ within an AD/Domain environment, you may start to see communication issues with respect to logon, exchange connection, etc.
