I am running windows 200 professional, and i heard that there was a personal firewall included in the os. Is that incorrect? I cant find it anywhere, even after installing IIS. How about any other versions? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks...

Since you are not going to route through a Win2K_Pro, because you would need Win2k_AS, that should be enough...
