I am running NT 4.0 with IIS 4.0 from NT option pack. I want to setup an intranet for INTERNAL use only. How do I configure this so that only employees within my network have access to the INTRANET site.

Go to the Internet Information Server MMC console. Open the properties page for the Intranet site. Open the Directory Security tab and choose the IP Address and Domain Name Restrictions option. Set the default to "Deny Access to all Computers". In the "Except those listed below" section, click on "Add". There you will be able to specify a single computer, a group of computers (by IP group and subnet mask) or an entire domain which WILL have access.

There is a couple of different way to approach.

If your PDC has been assigned internal IP address, it makes life easy.

Here is a simple approach.
Open IIS, internet service manager. Under concole Root, you will see your PDC machine name. Right click on it, a menu pops up, high light on new, web site  type a name(ex, intranet).
Now you have a icon under your PDC, named intranet. Go to the property of intranet.
Click home directory tab. Look at the local path, type a path that you want to place all your INTRANET html files. (ex, e:\html)[if you want to use another machine then check A share directory from another computer]

Now you need to edit hosts file on your workstations. At the end of hosts file, type IP address your PDC and name. ( if you typed ?name? open your browser and type http://name then should pops up your default.html file.) Remember the file name should be default.html.

If I miss some thing, let me know.

Good Luck
Sunny,
