  1. Windows 2000 Server comes with basic firewalling functionality (as does Window 2k3). I started playing around with IP Filtering.... Open the Control Panel. From the Network Connections applet, open the connection you want to configure. Click the Properties button. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Click the Properties button. Click the Advanced button. Click the Options tab. Select TCP/IP filtering. Click the Properties button. Check the box beside Enable TCP/IP Filtering. Select Permit Only for TCP Ports, UDP Ports, and/or IP Protocols. Click the Add button. Enter the port or protocol number and click OK. Repeat the last couple of steps until you've entered all desired ports and protocols. After you are done, close all the dialog screens by clicking either OK or Close. You will be prompted to reboot for the changes to take effect. The problem I find here is that it can lock down all ports EXCEPT what I list... but I can't specify other exceptions. Guess a third party tool is what is needed here. Just seemed a waste to spend money on a full firewalling package when all that is needed is a few rules.
  2. Anyone? Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions/tips? A URL that may explain it? Can someone point me in the right direction?? thanks,
  3. I haven't seen it before, but then again I have slipstreamed W2k3 server yet either..... I would take this to mean that you don't have all the latest all the latest security updates. If it's a slipstreamed build, then why not just include the hotfixes and refer to them in the unnattend script (or winnt.sif). This screen should go away once updated no? This can be found here.
  4. But it works better if you use the cats as bait for REAL fishing. <insert evil emoticon here>
  5. To re-enable a disabled service, you can also use a vbscript (if you're familar with using them). That could be run from command line too. In it you can specify which service you are looking for and check whether it's currently running or stopped. If stopped, then start it. (I can give an example if need be). To prevent users from stopping the services, then listen to the above postings and lock them down via Policies.
  6. No, for the obvious reasons reason that the feature you're looking for was functionality that was included in a later version of Windows. That wouldn't even be available as a "desktop theme" as themes just alter the color/shade/background on your desktop, toolbars, menubars, etc. Basically that just gives you an altered "Visual Style". My guess is that your best bet would be an Alternative desktop shell environment such as LiteStep or DesktopX that may allow more customization. I'm not 100% on the limitations of other shell environments though as it's been a LONG time since I've used any.
  7. I've searched and searched and yet I can't seem to come up with anything helpful. I have a standalone Windows 2000 Server that's running a dedicated application suite. I'm looking for a way to configure the built-in Windows Firewall to DROP packets from all sources on a given port, except for one specific address. Everything I read about "how to setup the windows firewwall" basically dictates that I have to block everything and only configure exceptions. I'm looking to do just the opposite. I want to allow everything, but just drop all connections on one specific port. Before the followups come stating that this is an "unsecure" (insecure ?) model, please hold back on those comments. I understand that. This is in a secure datacenter behind hardware firewalls and is only used for this one application (a chat client). I know that this can be done w/ 3rd party firewalls by leaving the default rule to PERMIT ALL and just DENYing the specific port I need to lock down. Anyone have any useful info? Please... Thanks in advance.
