Assuming you have XP and are either using a router / Modem.
Things that should be done.
1) Install XP SP2
2) Install all OS Updates.
3) Install latest SQL Service pack
4) Have no OS users loggins without passwords , Including Administrator
5) Have no SQL users loggins without passwords Including SA
6) If using MSSQL Mixed mode See 5
7) Configure XP Firewall.
8) Run free MS Base Line Security Analyser, (Its free) and implement any
relevant changes.
If all of the above are done then you should be resonably secure.
