Intra/Extra-Nets

Can I run an extranet and an intranet on the same machine?

Yes you can. ALL you need to do is go to the IIS administration panel, add a new server, set it's port to something besides 80 (default web server) and tell it where to find the files. Then all you need to do to access the intranet is use your standard address (IP or whatever) with :xxxx where xxxx is the port assigned. So if you Server is named computerwiz.net and you assigned it a port number of 8080, then you would access the intranet on that server by typing in &quot;<A HREF="

http://computerwiz.net:8080/default.htm&quot"

Just to add to Johns suggestions, there are also 2 other ways of providing this kind of connectivity, specifically if you want to keep port 80 on both intra and extranet sites. First, you can assign an IP address specifically to a web page, so by adding an IP address to the server you can bind a specific web page to it. Second is using host header names. IIS4.0 allows you to assign multiple port80 web pages on the same IP number by utilizing the host name requested by the inbound browser. When a user requests any of these pages, the host is included in the request to the server which then redirects it to the appropriate space.
