Internet Information Server FTP and Gopher Services Network Configuration

The computer used for the intranet server is the same computer running the WWW service that was installed in the scenario described in "Internet Information Server as a Single Intranet Server" in Chapter 4. For a complete description of the network configuration for the FTP and Gopher services, see that section of Chapter 4.
