go here and read this

http://anyweb.kicks-ass.net/SecureXP

it'll give you a good idea of some things to do and why

it doesnt cover firewalls or your request about disabling the ability of
connection, because that is just too broad, you could block all ports
incoming but then some services may not work such as antivirus
updates/windows updates, anyways have a read and it'll point you in the
right direction i hope
cheers
