Congrats :)
Now you need to install/configure a NAT server (windows internet sharing does it) to enable our other machine to access the net through it and a firewall - Zone Alarm?

ahh so you know the way??....
yeah, i have zone alarm installed on my regular machine.. i guess that should do then?.. or should i have zone alarm on my server as well?
so... if i put two network cards in my server.. what do i do next... :S
i feel sort of dumb after that..
it sounds like windows has the power though..??
do you happen to have msn colda... so i can bug you a little more directly with questions? |

| From this point, I'd strongly recommend a separate firewall/router/hub combo solution rather than setting up a windows box as a NAT server. You will still need a hub or switch. Well, you could use a cross-over cable to connect your regular machine to the second network card in the server - but from my experience, those combo boxes are easy to configure and setup - 5 or 10 minutes and you are up. Getting Windows to do all the NAT stuff and be a DHCP server - I don't know. Maybe that's easy with XP these days, but it didn't used to be very fun. If you have a separate box then you can mix and match operating systems behind it without any impact. |

okies, I assume that your internet connection is plugged into your network card, so without a hub you can put in another network card - but it will need some configuration (not done this method for a few years)
I've got msn but am at work, I'll be available in about 8 hours when I get home though (have to work late tonight). msn: colda98@hotmail.com
I dunno if anyone can help more specifically with the 2 NIC route, I'll guide you the best I can :)
Get the cards installed, getting the two machines to talk to each other is the first step, then worry about the routing

well it seems easier than i though.. i am NOW... typing on my laptop.. with a crossover cable going to the server, which then goes out to the world...
so it seems to be working.. i just ran the windows xp network setup and it magically started working. :)
it is nice when computers work. :)
hopefully my site is still up..

when i installed that internet sharing thing with windows, it also turned the firewall on, on my network card, making it not possible to get into the website.. i turned it off now... and had it checked.. it is working.. (i think).. AND.. i am on the internet on computer #2... :)

A recent test of broadband connections showed, on average, that a new PC on the Internet is being attacked within 4 minutes of going online.

This is exellent advice!!!
A simple four port router from a company such as linksys can be found for as little as $49. The router becomes the device on the network and it will only pass in requests that you allow. These things are easy to configure and will isolate your workstation and server from a lot of unwanted requests.
Some ISPs will block incoming requests on port 80 which will make it impossible to use your local server for anything more than testing. In this case you can by web hosting for as little as $5.95 a month. Use your local server to learn and test and then promote your working site to "production" on the hosting environment.
