Microsoft has released a patch which they say defends NT servers from SYN attacks. You can get it from here: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/usa/NT351/hotfixes-postSP5/syn-attack/ This is, however, a hot-fix. MS recommends that you apply it ONLY if your system is under attack. Otherwise, you should wait for Service Pack 6.
