Putty Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Just use IIS and get it over with. What I always used behind my cable modem. Sucks w/out static though. I never knew it changed until I got here and could not hit FTP/http. Easy correction with that program though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew it changed until I got here and could not hit FTP/http. Easy correction with that program though.Don't use IIS. It sucks. Use Apache.Are you using Windows? If so, download the install here:http://www.alliedquotes.com/mirrors/apache/httpd/binaries/win32/apache_2.2.6-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8e.msiI sent you a PM.

Putty Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 well i dont know what that islDMZ is a networking term that comes from the military term "demilitarized zone." DMZ refers to an area of a network, usually between two firewalls, where users from the Internet are permitted limited access over a defined set of network ports and to predefined servers or hosts. A DMZ is used as a boundary between the Internet and a company's internal network. The network DMZ is the only place on a corporate network where Internet users and internal users are allowed at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420gsxr1000 Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 ...the server is gonna wait...more than i though...need new OS software...maybe run linus instead...need to research a BUNCH before my dumbass will make it secure still...i get the DMZ thing exactely, but just want to make it secure before hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 .need new OS software...maybe run linus instead...Linus is a guy... Linux is an OS. Linus Torvalds wrote the first Linux Kernal and is considered the creator.Linus and Linux are not interchangeable like some system terms. You will love Linux once you get the hang of it. It is extremely powerful but at the same time, you open yourself up to allot of security risks if you do not know how to properly secure the system.
