Hey all, I'm planning to run a web server on one of my box's, and on the same network I got 2 other computers, At the moment each of them is running Zone Alarm, But does anyone know any better ways to protect my network, or would Zone Alarm be enough? ~ Idgeitman

Zone Alarm should be enough for protecting ports.
Make sure whatever webserver you are using is completly patched up and as secure as it can be though... that will be the real problem. IIS 6.0 isn't too bad with a default install, but watch older versions (ftp/nntp/asp/ssi on by default)... watch your file permissions as well for your site.
