I have a sql box which is getting loads of login attempts from the sam ip
address. I cannot see where to block ip addresses, windows firewall does not
have usch an option - any body know how. or should i use some other host
based protection?

While I haven't looked into myself at all (so I'm no expert), I would be
looking in the direction of IPSec
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/network/ipsec/default.mspx).
There's much there about encryption, which is not what you're after
exactly, but wrapped up in IPSec is also the concept of allowing certain
traffic (protocols & ports) to pass, be secured (ie. encrypted) or
blocked. I'd be looking at setting up some kind of IPSec filter that
blocks the IP (or range of IPs) in question. There's a whole lot of
info on the web about IPSec; the TechNet link above is a good place to
start in relation to IPSec & Windows.
