MS SQL 2000 Scanning issue

I have detected a constant scan of my sql server, apparently the script is trying to guess the "sa" password every few seconds, the attempts come from different IP's and different ports.
Is the only solutions to this to close the MS SQL port 1433 ?
We have many customer that like the feature of being able to connect remotely to our MS SQL using their enterprise manager.
Anybody dealing with this ?

thanks
