Is there a way to lock down a specific port on the i5 side?

a) I would suggest locking down TCP ports at the firewall that's in front of your i instead of trying to do it on the i side.

b) It appears that port 445 is related to windows active directory and/or windows file sharing. If you're not using the net server on your i, I would suggest shutting it down.
