Is it posible to close open or unneeded ports

[Guest JM]

Hi:

 

I scanned my server for vulnerabilities, and fong a few of open ports that I

dont need. Exist a way to close them, directly at the server, without using

the firewall.?

 

I can remove some IIS's services like nntp, smtp, but I would like to close

the rest.

 

Thank you

JM

A very small one is tinyproxy. It can be used for free and creates logs that

would suits your needs.

Sure, TCP/IP filtering on the local area connection or IP Security

Policies on the Local Machine.

Hi,

 

You can close ports and protocols at the IP (Kernel) layer in Win2k / 2k3

etc. by setting this up in the advanced IP properties. Pick any NIC and

select "Internet Protocol / Advanced / TCP/IP Filtering". Note, this will

affect all traffic on all NIC's.

See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309798
