I have two seperate hard drives, each being configured seperately at widely different times.
To close a number of ports, GRC suggests to use the Network icon and re-configure bindings to a certain indicted form.
As a point of reference, i did that on 2 yet different HDs with Win98SE and the procedure worked very well.
But this is not possible (yet) on either Win2K HD, as the Network icon does not exist and i do not know how to fix that.

Help?
Well...all that got me was the Network Dialup connections, which is available in the Control Panel.
And Properties on my ISP dialup does not have any of the controls needed.
There seems to be no control of Server Types, no way to uncheck "i want to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" on any and all protocol lines, no way to install (much less configure or bind) NetBEUI, and no way to change/set hardware adaptor bindings.
What i want is TCP/IP and NetBEUI to be bound to DialUp Adaptor, and Microsoft Family Logon bound to NetBEUI, period - no other bindings.

So,how do i get that done?
