You lock down ports with a firewall. You can use Zonealarm. There is a free version. Or if you have XP, you can turn on the firewall option. I don't use XP, so I don't have the exact procedure.

Hardware and Software Firewalls, usually - as an added measure, under the advanced section of the TCP/IP Properties you can specify only those ports you want open...
But for most people, a Router or software such as ZoneAlarm are the best bet...
