Are LAN users using it to connect outside of the LAN? If so, what Firewall are you using? If you have MS Proxy server 2.0 installed they shouldn't be able to connect unless the Proxy Client is installed. There is also one of the protocol & permission settings in Proxy Server that you can fix to block it. I can't remember which one it is off the top of my head tho.
