Can I run a web site from my home network without jeapordizing other computers on my LAN?
- by Alchemical
I have a home LAN with 5 computers and a NAS, all connected to a Linksys router which is connected to my Cox cable modem.
I'm interested in having one of my computers run an IIS-based web site and to have it be accessible to the internet with a static IP. However, I do not want o jeapordize the safety of the other computers on my home network!
Is there anyway to do this safely, or as safe as possible? I may also like to run an FTP server from this computer. Finally, optionally I would like to allow remote access to this computer from the internet--but it seems to me that that may increase the security risk to the other computers substantially.
