Windows Security tweaks?

[ixion]

Hey guys!

I have a Windows 2000 Server computer with some firewall/NAT software installed. The Firewall won't let anything in unless a requesting packet is sent out (Please let me know if I'm explaining this wrong).

Well, anyway, what can I do to my Windows PC's and the Windows 2000 router PC to keep it from sending potentially dangerous packets out? I've heard that Windows tends to broadcast secure information out of your network.

The OS's on my network are:
Windows 2000 Server, Pro
Windows XP
Windows 98SE

I'm using a Cable Modem for internet access.

Thank you guys so very much for any help you can provide...

Have a great day! :)

I must traet this as RUMOR until you can say exactly where you heard that and what you heard. Sure, windows CAN send out unwanted stuff, but what have YOU heard?
