Anonymous logons [null sessions] are common with Windows networking and
mostly used by browse list maintenance for My Network Places. If you disable
netbios over tcp/ip or file and print sharing on a computer the anonymous
logons can be greatly reduced or eliminated. They are not a problem if you
have a firewall protecting your network, enforce the use of complex
passwords for your network, and monitor for unusual activity for failed
logon attempts.. --- Steve
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=246261 --- explanation of null sessions
and how to restrict them IF compatible with your network configuration.
