In order to show activity prior to a dialup to an ISP, the Ethereal /
Wireshark sniffer creates an artificial adapter named either NdisWan or just
"Generic Dialup Adapter". On my Windows 2000 servers, these adapters show
some kind of broadcast activity on the order of maybe two to four packets
per minute. Is there some way to completely disable and disallow any kind
of outgoing dialup activity from a Windows 2000 box? How do you do that?
On a related note, it has always bothered me on Windows 2000 systems how the
Telephony service enables itself when set to manual, and the two Remote
Access services will come alive even when you have not configured any
profile for a remote connection, and even when the Routing service is
disabled. I can set these services for Disabled state, but then you get
eventviewer messages indicating a serious error that these could not be
started.
What is the right way to turn off all remote access services if I don't need
the box to act as a router?
