The only thing I saw that was out of the ordinary was
1- an empty folder in c:\winnt\system32  "rocket" and
2- zone alarm pro showing port 1029 open, which i proceeded to block.
 Everything seems to function normally. I disabled the service and have not
had any issues so far. I can get into all the admin tools, group policies,
had made a copy of the reg before I physically plugged it into the
router(actually, the switch connected to the router :), only changes i saw
when comparing both reg's seem to refer only to the apps that i installed
after i connected. a sysedit showed nothing that seemed out of the ordinary.
I am kinda thinking I may have got lucky and caught it as soon as they
attempted whatever they were attempting, since I was configuring everything
when this happened. Of course, time will tell. It is a stand alone server
whose purpose is to demo a small part of a web app in design by our program
department and to begin working with a web based support app. I have a
feeling I will now have a lot more work to do now, and a lot more questions
for the group. All the input was, again, much appreciated. This concludes
this story, at least until tomorrow :)

The only help I can offer is this:

http://www.google.com/search?q=mr2kserv&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&filter=0

Let us know how it goes.  Regardless, your box now needs to be waxed and
re-built.  That's assuming it's an actual compromise.  Anything else funny?
Any weird things showing up on the file system?
