ip addressremote desktopSecuritywindows xp
I have found out that one IP address is trying to RDP to a machine.
I would now like to get XP to block all incoming connections from this IP address, and I am finding it very frustrating how difficult such a simple task could be.
How do I block incoming connections from one IP address?
Found the following guide: http://www.petri.co.il/block_web_browsing_with_ipsec.htm
The proper way to accomplish this is to configure Windows Firewall to block all outgoing traffic by default, and then only allow the incoming connection(s) you want.
To do that, click on Windows Firewall with Advanced Security in the left pane, and choose Windows Firewall Properties from the right pane. Next to Outbound connections, choose Block. Then, click OK.
Once you've done that, just delete the block all outgoing traffic rule and you should be all set.

You could use the Windows Firewall to block incoming connections on port 3389 from that IP.
