Does anyone know what Security Policy Setting would prevent a Win2K Pro box from RECEIVING net messages? I know it's a security setting because when I revert to the default security template, it works.
 
Alerter Service and Messenger Service are started.
 
Start, Run, Net STOP messenger

The Alerter service is not relevent here. The only other way to do this is to close TCP and UDP ports 135, 136, 137, 139 and 445. This also shuts down networking if applied to the LAN side of your traffic. However if applied by your firewall to the WAN side of things it stops Messenger SPAM.
