There is, but it re-opens a security hole that was "fixed" with SP5 fo
Windows NT. According to Microsoft, there isn't a firewall availabl
that will close that hole either. I can post the fix, but I am no
responsible for any security issues that may arise.

NOTE: Major players/partners with Microsoft can not force them to fi
this issue. However, this issue will be fixed in Vista/Longhorn
