This is a simple process:
1. Determine which ports should be legitimately open. One for each service.
e.g. SMTP mail = 25, web server = 80, etc.
2. Close all remaining ports
For WIN2K, this will involve uninstalling or disabling software that is
running on additional ports. Also a good idea is to install a firewall to
block access to all ports except the expected ones.
