restrict to localhost only

I want to restrict the database to localhost only. I did what past postings
suggested (http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;814130),
which was to go into SQL Server Network Utility and disable all protocols.
After doing that, I restarted the SQL Server service and also restarted the
computer). However, I was still able to connect to the database in Query
Analyzer from another machine.
Has anyone been able to successfully restrict to localhost? I am using SQL
2000 Developer Edition w/ SP3a, Windows XP Pro. Thanks for any help.One curious observation is that even though TCP/IP has been disabled, if I
remove the TCP/IP library file (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Binn\ssnetlib.dll), SQL Server service will not start. Which
indicates to me that SQL Server is still loading the TCP/IP protocol even
though I have it disabled.|||After disabling all the protocols did you look at the SQL Server errorlog
to verify that it was listening only on shared memory?

I just looked now in Management > SQL Server Logs. Here's are some key
lines:
Using 'SSNETLIB.DLL' version '8.0.766'.
SQL server listening on 127.0.0.1: 1433.
SQL server listening on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: 1433.
SQL server listening on TCP, Shared Memory.
This seems to indicate that it is not only listening on shared memory. But
when I go to Properties > Network Configuration, there are no enabled
protocols! And I have restarted SQL service as well as the computer.
