The only additional thing I would add to this if it hasn't been mentioned
already is that 2000 had/has some major security issues and even though 2003 is
more secure out of the box from what I've experienced so far, I would **never**
trust a windows box to anything other than my LAN using private IP blocks and if
it has inbound access via a public IP then it would more certainly be behind
another firewall that is NAT'ing/Port Forwarding its traffic.
Nobody should ever put a server regardless of OS on a public IP.
It should always be firewalled/Nat/Port Forwarding.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
