Go to TCP/IP Protocol, under Network Control Panel, Protocols,
and then to IP Address, Advanced ..., check Enable Security,
and configure.

A much better idea I'd think would be to throw a firewall
in front of it, but if you are doing this for host level
security, then I think that this is a good idea too.  I would
not have an NT server out on the open network without
a firewall in front of it, unless it were itself a firewall,
even with this host level security.
