Close open Tcp/Udp ports

hi Experts,
How can i block my udp ports on win2kAs without any firewall or third party programs?

Regards

Good luck, I am not aware of a way to close these ports without using a Firewall
Either Software or Hardware (I prefer Hardware)

Linksys & Cisco Routers are the best.
Linksys - Low-Level Router "Low Cost and Maintance"
Cisco - Higher End Router "Better have a big Bank Account"

Good Luck

Actually I have heard of a program that might do what you need. It was called something like "fport" but I am not sure if it was actually that name.

The point here, that everyone will eventually concure in pointing out is that the only way to "close" ports is by using them. What a firewall does, as I see it, is use up all ports on a computer. When a program needs a port, the firewall releases the port, and the program can start using it.

The point I am trying to make is that I am not sure there is a specific program in the microsoft OS that can "close" the ports, becuase thats not microsofts intention.

You will end up using a thrid party utility for these type of needs...
