You should be using 2 nics in the server. The 2nd nic will connect to your
router.
Put that 2nd nic in a different IP-range, let DNS point to your server-IP
only, check the bindingorder and make sure the internal nic is on top. Rerun
the CEICW-wizard.
Do you have Premium or Standard?
If you can't get to the microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs newsgroup, try
the microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz2000 newsgroup.
