Web site running on a personal server...

[Sam]

Hi,
I have a web site in a hosting space but now I want to make it run in my
server(in my office). Mainly the web site will be above all used within
office LAN. Sometimes it could occur that it must be available to a few user
in the web( to insert, modify, print, ecc... data). I want to grant security
to my web site, but I can't do it because in don't know IIS well! Could you
tell me something about this?

Thanks.
Sam.

Sam, I believe that the problem here is probably not in IIS but in a
network configuration. Having an internet-facing server within LAN is
a clear security risk. The best practice is to build a DMZ - a
separate subnet with two firewalls - and place your server there.
