Ray- Take a look at this document. http://www.systemexperts.com/tutors/HardenW2K101.pdf You will be using the IPSEC console but not really using IPSEC, more = like a filter. But it works. I used it on my DNS server before we got = a PIX. Oh yeah I highly recommend a hardware firewall. Way better then = ISA server, which I used before.

I could also have it so that I could map drives to it and everything else if I really wanted to. With this server sitting out there running TS just waiting for anyone in the world to connect to it and try to guess my password, I am of course, a little uncomfortable with that. I was thinking about buying ISA server, but that may be overkill. But then I thought that I could use IP security policies to block on non-port 80 traffic from everywhere but my computer at home. Is the IPSec reliable? Secure? Do I even understand what IP Sec is? I know that some people will say "get Zone Alarm" or something like that. I don't want to run third party apps... It's either some built-in solution or ISA Server. Thanks a lot, Ray at home =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/win2000list.cfm ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/win2000list.cfm
