If you have a properly configured firewall protecting your network from the
internet then most likely you do not have a problem. The anonymous logons
are "null sessions" that the operating system uses for various functions
with the most used one being the maintenance of the browse list that you see
in My network Places. If you do not need to share files/printers on your
computer or access other network computer shares/printers you can disable
file and print sharing, Client for Microsoft Networks, and netbios over
tcp/ip and you probably will see those anonymous logon events disappear.
The KB article in the link below explains some of the uses of these
anonymous connections and how to restrict them in Windows 2000 on computers
that need to share and access shares though warning message needs to be
heeded as to the consequences of restricting anonymous access. --- Steve
