Both Microsoft Windows NT and Proxy Server provide packet filtering at the
NIC level.

It can be accessed from the Security Tab of the Proxy Server properties and
the network applet of control panel.

How do I close this port?  The situation is that we are using
an NT Server
machine with MS Proxy Server.  There are no shares on this
computer.  The
computer has 2 nics.  One goes to the LAN, and the other goes
to our router.
I have the internet nic unbound from the WINS on both the
server and the
workstation services, but the other card is bound to the WINS on both
services.  Auditing tools still show that the port is open,
even though it
won't give anyone any connections, but I don't want any
attention being
drawn to it by that port being open at all.  Help will be appreciated!

Thanks,

Kasey
