Jason,
I know I have windows firewall enabled, but dont' have any clue as to where
to go to configure it? Thanks so much for the quick reply. Also a good
point about checking with cox. I'm not planning on using the server for
hosting.... just trying to get familiar with the functionality of SBS 2003
and IIS.
Thanks again and if you know how to configure the windows firewall please
post back.
Thanks.
Josh
