Ahhh... the legendary "Home Network", famous for having all those pet
projects, betas and trials. I hear you! I also have similar situations :-)

In this case you might try just to put the Win2k3 server behind the SBS and
publish stuff to the DMZ but not to the internet. I guess you could you
follow Dave's suggestion (I didn't knew it was possible without GPOs) and
use WebDAV or even sharepoint to publish network shares to the DMZ.

Just FYI- I use MusicMatch and WinAMP (both use CDDB) regularly behind ISA
without any issues. IM works too... but A/V conversations can be
problematic.

I'm not sure what you need. The RDP client for windows? Its included on XP,
but for other versions of Windows...

If you need RDP client for other OS... sourceforge.net has lots of them. For
linux I particularly like RDesktop.
