And how does a firewall help in that case. 

If you don't want your intranet web server being accessed 
from outside, then that's what a firewall is for. 
It doesn't make any sense having a firewall on a standalone 
machine, like a laptop, if you see what I mean.

Well, that's my understanding of it.
