I have a solaris 8 server and will be connecting a DSL line from Speakeasy. Besides the IP information, is there anything that needs to be configured or installed for communication to occur?

Thanks

Hi csross,

Does your server have a NIC (network interface card)? Will your server be available via a router that connects to a LAN - i.e. will it be on a LAN inside a hardware firewall?

Have you minimized/stopped the services that are not needed from running on your server at bootup?

What security considerations have you given to putting your server onto the Internet?
