Option 1:
Windows has a variety of packet filters. One may configure this using the
RRAS
(Routing and Remote Access) API's to tag offending IP's and block them,
although this requires some
MS programming knowledge it is "built-in" to the operating system. Also if
you are comfortable working with
NDIS intermediary drivers I am aware that there is a capability there also.

Option 2-3:
IPsec Filtering
ICF (Internet Connection Firewall) Available in WinXP & Win2003srv. (Note:
ICF provides statful inspection
although it is only on inbound traffic).

Option 4:
On a more practical note, take a look at the following sourceforge project:

PktFilter: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pktfilter/
