My brother has put up a seperate computer and installed Windows Server on it
and wants to run his own domain from that server - what type of firewall
should he have running?? If you need more info on hardware/software, please
let me know as I'm lost on this - and HE should know what he's doing, he
actually programs software for the gov....geeezz.....anyway, thanks for any
help in this direction

LOL yep, that's what I told him - from what I can gather - he wants to put
up a website on 'his' server and allow other people to view it ... why he
can't find this info out for himself is beyond me - guess he thinks I have
nothing to do -

Unless he is using a business grade internet connection, most home grade
service will not normally permit servers.

Why should he be expected to know everything about computers
because he is a programmer? That's like expecting a
cellphone user to knwo about the phone network because he
sends messages over it.
Most programmers have very little knowledge of computers.
Cheers,
Cliff
