I have installed a copy of Win 2K server on a computer for my use only. I want to work with .net applications and I have installed the SDK on this server as well. It is only for serving pages to me. Although I have worked with other services of Win 2k server (file, application, print, etc) I don't know a lot about IIS. I don't want to serve pages to the outside. And yes, I have it working fine.
Naturally, I have a firewall between me and the Internet. There is no port forwarding configured in the router (using a SonicWall).
Q: Is there any way - other than some obscure hacking technique - that anyone could get to my system from the Internet?
Q: Is there anything else I should do to secure this server? From the outside, of course.
