[ale] iptables...

[Keith Hopkins]

Since this is the IP destinatin (your laptop) and not a router, just 
comment the ports you do not need out of /etc/services.  That will stop 
inetd from servicing them.  For any processes that listen to ports 
directly (sendmail, etc), just don't run the process.
