Just so you are aware there has not been much reported success with setting up dual port nics/loadbalancing in SBS
can you post the ipconfig for this nic??

  Yes

  I have two IBM/Intel Server NICs (10/100/1000), and one of
  them is disabled, the other is enabled with a static IP
  (192.168.20.99) and currently plugged into a switch
  (nothing else is plugged into the switch). There is also
  an on-board NIC that is also disabled. When things are
  running properly, the IBM NICs will be set up as one
  virtual NIC with load balancing and fail-over support and
  will be connected to a switch. The onboard NIC will be set
  up as the second NIC connecting the server to a 3Com
  firewall/router/VPN.

  In a previous installation, without installing all the
  Service Packs, I did get the server set up to access the
  internet through the second NIC through the firewall and I
  can get another computer connected to the switch to access
  the internet through the server.

  To get the server NIC load-balancing support requires an
  update the the Intel chipset and the drivers for the NICs.
   Those updates require Windows 2000 SP4. I have not yet
  tried installing SP4 in this iteration, I was going to
  leave that as the last SP to install.
