how can I deny a subnet form access a server

[ahmtech123]

Hi is it possible to deny a subnet
192.168.2.* from hitting my share or even seeing that the computer is online? I blocked smtp requests but they still can do this \\foo and see scheulded taks.

Thanks.

Hmm i don't know about a particular subnet without using a firewall but you can hide the folders.

Is there an internal firewall on windows server 2003 that I can user to block the entire subnet from accessing it or doing anything?

If you install SP1 there is quite a good software firewall built in but you will have to configure it to allow any services that you run, i think there is a way to block subnets. Install it on a test box and try.
