No problem, all you have to do is right click network places, select properties, right click on your external interface, select properties, select tcp/ip, click on properties, click the advanced button, select the options tab, select tcp/ip filtering, click the properties button, click on enable tcp/ip filtering on all adapters then select the protocols and ports you want available. Just remember that an adapter and an interface are two different things and you shouldn't get confused.From: Damon McMahon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The gateway host of my small workgroup has just become a 'victim' of the recent spate of SPAM using the NetBIOS Messenger Service. The gateway is a Windows 2000 host which connects to the internet via an external IP dynamically assigned by my ISP, and to an internal network via a 192.168.0.0/24 IP assigned by the Windows Internet Connection Sharing service. 2. If this is possible, is there any inexpensive [preferably free!] method of configuring Windows 2000 (with or without ZA Pro) to filter packets on the basis of interface as well as IP address?
