moving IIS server 1

[lizzi]

Hi
I´m going to fyscial move the webserver at my company from one building to another. (The company is located in several buildings). I haven´t look up all things yet, but is there anything in particulary I have to think about?
If the server is in the same net their shouldn´t be any difficulties? Do I have to make any changes in the firewall?

If the network is on the same subnet, and you're not changing the IP of the web server, it doesn't make a difference where it's physically located.

Thanks Greg

I have two another qoustion, perhaps it´s not right forum but it concerns the IIS.
I wonder about DMZ. If I understand things right DMZ looks somthing like this:

firewall
|
IIS
|
firewall
|
internal network with a SQL server

I´ve heard that DMZ is just an extra socket in the firewall. Is it so, or do I fysically set up two firewalls to create a DMZ?

My second question is:
If I want to connect to the sql server, do I have to create ODBC in IIS or is it enough to just write the seekway in my asp file?

'## OPEN THE DATABASE
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") = "my_sql_server"
Conn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("\data\info.mdb")
