re: XP Home and Personal Web Server Sunday, May 4, 2003 at 2:51 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by kevin (3 messages posted) If you don't expose your machine to the internet then hackers can't get in. Make sure to set-up a hardware firewall and leave all ports closed. This allows you to develop without worries. Not doing development work, then stop the IIS services manually for comfort's sake. Also, always eep your Anti-Virus up to date to prevent exploits via e-mail. This should allow you to minimize the patching requirements. When you have your pages ready just publish to an outside host.
