I have a Terminal Server 2000 running and I can access it from Internet Explorer no problem as long as I'm behind the Linksys router. If I try to access it from outside, it can't find the server name. I have enabled Port Forwarding in the Linksys and the TSWEB web is sitting on port 1600. Should I be using a different server name if I'm connecting from outside? Thanks for your help.

Hi Clutch, Here's where I found the version: Administrative Tools, Internet Services Manager, right-click on Default Web Site and under Server Extensions, it says 4.0.2.4426. I was getting errors this morning about my FTP couldn't be started and the error said something about IIS 4.0. Thanks again.

Thanks for the information. Now I have another question, I was checking all the settings and found out I'm running Server Extension 4.0? Am I suppose to have 5.0 with Windows 2000 Server? How did I get 4.0? Was it because of IIS Lockdown program? I also accidentally deleted a subweb and now when I right click on the default web and check for extension, it always tells me the directory doesn't exist. Is there a way to delete the reference? Thanks again for your help.

Okay clutch, I'm ready I got IIS Lockdown and URL Scan installed and configured. Right now, URL Scan will filter out everything else but HTML and ASP extensions. I checked the log files every once in a while and I do get quite a lot rejects from URLScan about CMD.EXE and others. I also checked out www.everydns.net and it looks easy to set up, but I'll wait until I have everything done. I also got another PC - P3-800 for running IIS so I can separate from the AD machine. For the IIS Lockdown, do I need to run it everytime I add a new web site to my server or after update pages? Thank you for all your help.

Would it be a good idea to put ZoneAlarm on Windows 2000 Server? Would it work on Server? Thanks

Hi clutch, Thanks for your reply. I've downloaded all patches from Windows Updates, is that good enough? I haven't downloaded any tools to secure the server at this point as I'm just starting. I'll check out the tools you mentioned. I used to have a web from @Home but I didn't get a chance to copy it back, I've lost my web site Now, I'm just thinking of hosting my own since I need a lot of space for storage. I'm putting up a personal web with family pictures and things like that. I'm not familar with host header name at all. However, I've read a bit in the Help about I can use the same IP address for different domain names. Yes, my IP is dynamic through cable connection. I don't have any dynamic service though. Are they free? However, from where I bought my domain names (www.buydomains.com), I can URL forward to my IP. There's also NameServer I can enter from buydomains.com but not sure what it is. Normally the IP I get will stay at least for 3 months. I should tell you my background in computer. I'm a Senior PC Technican and I'm familar with most hardware/software, Windows 2000/XP/98 registery and network settings (i.e. changing IP and DNS settings). However, I have no live experience setting up a DNS server, mail server, or similar. What exactly is reverse/forward lookup? When I set up Active Directory, it asked me to set up DNS Server and I did. When I go into DNS, I get 2 major headings - Reverse and Forward lookup. In forward lookup, I have all internal IP addresses for different computers. For Reverse lookup, there's nothing there. For each PC connected to the Linksys router, I've added the AD's IP address as DNS search list. On top of it, I also have 3 other entries from my Linksys router for my cable company. They all start with 24.xx.xx.xx Thanks again for your help.
