Securing an Web Service

Hi!

First of all, I am kind of a newbie.

I am planning an project where I gonna use an web service and a
desktop-client, but I have stumbled over a problem. The IIS server that
i am planning to use in my project serves the company website. The
website runs on default port 80 and can be accessed by anyone, but I
don't want the service to be public.

My questions is:
How can I use this server, but protecting my webservice?
Can I change the port nr that the service is running on?

Later on in the project, I also want the ability to connect to the
service true a webpage.

David
