IIS and Server 2003 are as secure as you make them. Just like a
padlock is secure, if you don't lock it, there is no security.

Server 2003 has a firewall you can use. The Netgear also has firewall
functions. Configured correctly they work fine. Remember that a
firewall doesn't make your system secure, it simply blocks some
avenues of access. Security depends on you as well. See:
