Have my own home server based on Windows Small Business Server 2003 called Windows Home Server.

Geting whacked every 3-4 hours from b.s. client[s] connections in China trying to automatically hack into it looking for old versions of email hosting that I don't even have installed.

Got their IP's blocked with with IIS [Internet Information Services Manger], just tired of seeing the main reports of people accessing my server are hackers. Other than buying a Sonic Wall device got any ideas what to try instead of spending $400 bucks for a hardware solution?
