Hosting a Website.
Alright, this is gonna sound pretty sad to you expert folk, but I figure this is the best place to get help.
I recently acquired a P3 800 Windows 2000 Server, with 3 hd's at 10 gigs each, ran on a Cable connection. I am a total 'Newbie' to running a server, and all I really wish to do at this point is serve up a single webpage, for testing purposes. Do any of you possibly know of a good tutorial, book, or just information on setting up a relatively easy, secure, and BASIC server step-by-step? Alright, enough about the internal settings and the such, on to hardware.
For security issues, what type of fire wall do you suggest, I am currently using a splitter to split between 3 computers, but am planning on purchasing another modem tower for the server. I have been looking at
CNet Internet Broadband Gateway CNIG914 - Router
It won't let me post a link, but it is at thenerds dot net
But is this what I want? Seems like I cannot find a non-router fire wall, and the ones I have found are over 500 dollars. Even as a router, will this still work effectively, and efficiently?
Thank you very much,
Hawk
