Restricting Application to Public (Making an "intranet")

Hi! I'm very new to ASP.NET and really need some good advice from experts
here.

I'm creating a web application for my company now. This application has 2
parts. 1 part for the customers to access. The 2nd part is for our staff to
access only. My director hopes to make the 2nd part to be something like an
intranet, such that only our company's computers (maybe only 1 or 2 in the
company) can login to this part of the application.

1. My company's intending to put the application on shared server with a web
host. Windows Authentication is NOT allowed.

2. My company doesn't have a static IP address.

3. My manager suggested using Network Card number (which I don't really
quite understand. Is there a way to get the Network Card number that's on a
client PC?).

How??

Some ISP told us that they can provide a firewall management feature such
that it will restrict access to the website from anyone that is not coming
from my company's network. This requires Static IP.

Another told me that IIS Manager has the security feature that restrict
access based on IP address. This requires Static IP again.

Is it possible to implement the 2nd part (the part that is to be accessed by
my company's PC) as a windows application instead? Then we only put the
windows application on one computer. So, 1st part (for the public) will be a
web application, 2nd part (for my company) is a windows application, both
accessing the same database server from an ISP. Will the ISP allow the
windows application to access its database server? I've no experience in
making a windows application at all, is it the same as making a web
application? Please advise.

Do my company really have to get a Static IP? Any comments or other
suggestions please? Thank you.

Sorry, I didn't mean to post twice. I thought the first time was
unsuccessful. How to delete it? I'm really sorry.

Hi, I have code similar to this.. Dim xlApp As Object xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application", "\\MyServer") The call is from a asp.net (Intranet) application. \\Myserver is a network computer in the same domain as web server. The only way I can get this call worked is when I add the user who logs on to the web site as Administrators. I need to get this working without having to make the user administrator. Any suggestion?

Hello, What's the best way to keep email templates as html files on the server, so ASP.NET application can get file access to it, while restricting web users from accessing it through their browsers. The site is open to the public, no authentication is required, and web application runs under default iis user account. Thanks!

Yes, I wasted the past two days trying to fix this. Yes, this is on a Win2003 Server. Yes, this machine is a domain controller. Yes, I seen the dozens of KB articles like this one: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q315158 But the problem is that 99% of these are for ASP .NET 1.x and this is .NET 2.x which I just installed to try and get .net working for the first time ever.

I've seen several problems cropping up on computers with Internet Explorer 7. The oddest so far: Shortcuts to .mdb files fail silently when another user on the network has the file open. The more typical manifestation of the problem: You try to open a Microsoft Access file that resides on a different computer, and are told: 'Microsoft Access cannot open this file.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
