We have a server running Windows 2000 server & Exchange 2000 which is
connected to an ADSL line and will act as a File/Mail server in the near
future.

How would we protect this server so it doesn't fall to DoS attacks and other
Internet Hacking problems?

There is a 3Com Office Connect DMZ FireWall behind the ADSL router, but I'm
concearned still and like some advice on what needs to be protected when
running a server which is publicly seen on the internet.

Many thx.
