First off.... I'm not going to get into the Windows/Linux argument.  I
run both servers.

For your win2k box...

Most important!  Update the thing.

Next:

Go to http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/chklist/iis5cl.asp
This is the IIS Baseline Security Checklist.  Live it...Breath it.  Make
sure you run the IIS lockdown tool.

Ensure you run TCP/IP filtering on all network interfaces.  Only allow
necessary ports for your site's operation.

i.e. tcp/80 web  tcp/53 dns udp/53 dns  tcp/3389 if you administer the
server using terminal services.

That should be a fairly good start.  You need to make sure you check the
IIS logs daily as well as the event viewer logs.
