Actually, be sure to run 4.5.1
4.5 as far as I know cf server needs to be updated to 4.5.1 to run
properly...

If you are using Win2K Professional, the IIS that it comes with is not the
full version of IIS, but a cut down version which is essentially the same as
PWS (only not quite so crap :)). You can use a thirdparty firewall, or
simply disable anonymous access to sites running on it.
