Look at IPSec policies instead, they are much more flexible in rules and don't require rebooting.

I am wonder without the purchase of a firewall is using the block ports setting on the individual W2K systems using the advanced options in the TCP/IP properties doing me any good? I am aware of the issues with PPTP encryption, but just would like to know if using the W2K "firewall" setting is a good idea or should I strive for something else. Just some what if scenarios or possible attacks. Thank you
