    Paul,

    There is a good book on how to set up Windows NT/2000 Servers for the
    Internet called: "Securing Windows NT/2000 Servers for the Internet -
    Security Checklists for System Administrators" by Stefan Norberg (Oreilly
    Publishers ISBN 1-56592-768-0) which you can order from Amazon
    (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1565927680/qid=1043887873/sr=
    8-1/ref=sr_8_1/102-3534251-9965712?v=glance&s=books&n=507846).

    Happy Reading!

    Subject: Securing NT4 Server Websites
    Can somebody give me some suggestions for websites/pages for securing a
    Win NT4 server which will be acting as a file server only. I would use
    Win2k but Win2K and the m/b don't work together for some or another
    reason.
    I will already be installing SP6a + hotfixes and making sure that IIS is
    not running, but what else?
    Thanks
    Simon
