I read someplace that IIS 5 (if I remember the version
correctly) has a bug that will let a cracker execute
anything on your Win2k server.  They have a patch for
it which you can download from Microsquish.  
Good luck with the ICS - I've got Caldera 2.4 as my
server (eDesktop with IPchains) - and I've tried to
turn off any services I don't need to try and keep it
secure.  I've got a firewall file set up - but I'm
going to keep researching to see if I can make it
better.  (rc.firewall).
