my senario

IIS 5 On win 2k 256MB ram 20 GB HD CGI extention installed along with SP4 and all updates

ImageFolio 3.1 (www.imagefolio.com) (cgi web gallery)
HTTP Server (iis 5 ) is being used

no my problem is that the iis and ftp services go down very often, i dont get that many hits to get it over loaded, or is it the ftp is already generating alot of trafic ?

How do you know it isn't running if the console indicates it is? Are you attempting to connect from an outside source?

What kind of network connection do you have? Cable, dialup? Does your AUP allow you to run servers?

What options have you enabled for event logs (auditing)?

Have you tried uninstalling the Folio? (conflict?)

Do you have AV software installed? (conflict?)

What other applications are running?

!! Missed the 'no firewall' bit earlier :) Maybe that's your problem - running a Windows machine with IIS and no protection! Have you got any filtering/firewalling in front of your server at all? Have you logged incoming traffic/connections? Can access be gained to other Windows related services (ie. ports other than 80)?

You might also want to consider the URL scan tool from Microsoft. (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tre...ls/urlscan.asp)

It looks for common attacks and blocks them. Make sure to check your settings afterwards, because it does tend to change some things. When I installed it, it changed all my custom 404 pages to the default. :rolleyes:

Also, you might want to check to make sure you have the latest version of ImageFolio 3.1 because there is a couple of exploits for that version.

This is a good question. My ISP (cable company) blocks ports and has a big old long paragraph or two saying how you cannot run a server and if your caught with a server your internet access will be cut off...
