Internet vs Intranet?

Internet vs Intranet???

What determines whether a site will be displayed in intranet or internet? I always thought it was in tools/internet options/security

I have no sites listed in trusted zones, some in restricted zone,
the internet says sites not in any other zone. For the Intranet sites under advanced I have checkmarks beside the following:

Include all local(intranet) sites not listed in other zones.
Include all sites that bypass proxy server (don't use proxy server).
Inlude all network paths.

I have XP SP1 I.E. latest and all patches applicable. I use cable connection.

My cable company homepage is intranet, so is my online banking but that one has a lock for secure site. This site is internet zone.

Have I got my advanced settings right?

Are you sure you understand the difference between an internet and an intranet?
Perhaps this or this will help?

 

Maybe I need a new definition of 'local network'. Why would a bank site be part of my local network?

Q:Why would a bank site be part of my local network?

A:Include all sites that bypass proxy server (don't use proxy server).
Your cable connection has a proxy server, in most cases.

 

There is an option to use one but my cable company recommended not using it.

 

As long as you can get to your banking site, then there is nothing to worry about. This is just to be sure the 128 or 164 bit encryption is not compromised, so that you have a direct connection from your IP address to their IP address, or in another way, to keep you from getting ripped off.

 

Thanks for the clarification.

I am running an office Intranet on one of my Netware nodes, all within the same workgroup, via a shared drive. Of course, the sharing of the C Drive on this Windows2000 client is limited to 10 (but I haven't figured out if that means 10 at a time or 10 from the 20-member workgroup?)

Why would I want to install the Intranet on a NT server and IIS software? It's working just fine now (or at least until more than 10 of the 20-person workgroup attempts to connect to the shared client).

Comments would be appreciated

The limitation on the NT workstation operating systems (NT3/4, 2K, XP) is 10 simultaneous connections. Server OS versions do not have that limitation.

I'd say if what you have now works for you now, no reason to change.

 

Thanks, Newt, for the reassurance on the number of nodes who can share. The OS on the PC with the shared drive is only Windows 2000 and not a server OS.

Does this make a difference?

 

If the OS were the server version, there would not be the 10 connection limit. Server allows unlimited connections.

 

Thanks, Newt. My original query from my earlier message: " Of course, the sharing of the C Drive on this Windows2000 client is limited to 10 (but I haven't figured out if that means 10 at a time or 10 from the 20-member workgroup?) ". Any idea of which is correct?

The share is working fine for 'everyone', but as far as I can tell, there has never been more than 10 attempting to log on at the same time. I'm inclined to think that the 10 refers to 'concurrent' users?

 

I really don't remember if the limitation is concurrent users or conections (so if user A has 3 shares mapped, do you have 9 available connections for others or only 7).

I do know it's dynamic and is a function of activity at a given time so if user A left, her resource would be freed up immediately.
