disable external connections to sql server 2000

Hi,
I am trying to disable external connections to my sql server installation:
removed (disabled) all the network protocols, restarted the server machine,
but I can still run EM and connect to that sql server. What am I missing to
disable the external connections?
Thank you,
VadimHi
Did you remove the client protocols instead of the server ones? What machine
are you connecting from?
