I sent this out earlier, but I am not sure if it went through: ------------------------------------------------------------- I am planning on installing Web Interface 2.0 for outside world access for a small group of people (< 15) . Because I am "Ig-ni-ant" on what to do, I would like to get an idea of best way to do it I am planning on putting WI 2.0, Secure Gateway 2.0 on the same Win2k server (with SP3, of course!). For security reasons, I am also going to install the certificate services, and I am planning on doing that on the same Win2k box. I am also creating a DMZ within my firewall, and physically putting the box there. Q1) The part that "I are dumb" about is: Do I need to put the Win2k Server on it a stand-alone, or part of the ADS? Basically: Is it wise to make it a member server, or a DC part of the ADS? Q2) Also, do I need two NICs on the Win2k box for traffic reasons (one for outside access, one for internal access)? I realize that the box is in the DMZ, so if I need two NICs, do I put one in the DMZ for outside / public access, and the other NIC inside the private network? Or, do I put both NICs within the DMZ? Q3) Am I missing anything? (Other than my wits, but that is another story. The doctor, you see....) Keith
