Look into IPtables for locking your servers ports.  IPtables is a simple
firewall that controls access to ports.  If you are running Linux, most
distro's install the bits with the standard installation; or you can get
them here:
http://www.iptables.com
and here's a good intro to IPtables:

Whether you are going to put this box on the internet or not, I would
recommend locking it down.  Turn off all unneccessarry services, and make
sure things are patched to start.  I would jump on google and search for
lockdown + "Your OS".
