network, especially a domain - who would think you have to go into the
Windows Locator panel and configure it from there!! It is pre-Alpha after
all!
I've been reading discussions that the next SP for XP will do all sorts of
things, enable Internet Firewall, disable Messennger Service etc etc.
What fun we will all have!

No, I don't think so. Admittedly, I don't have a Windows Server 2003 machine
handy, but I seem to recall having to create an IP security policy for it.
However, many more services and processes are turned off by default,
especially on the Web Edition, which is very good. In addition, IIS 6 is
much more secure by default than previous versions - how could it not be, I
guess?
