Check out your routers documentation, but it probably does have a firewall built in. What version of SBS are you running? If
you have standard then it has RRAS NAT Basic Firewall. If you have premium then it has ISA as the firewall piece.
Also I don' see a reason why you couldn't have all your clients go through the SBS server. The do not have to be domain
members to get to the internet as long as you have your access settings correct.
Lastly if you want to use both devices then have your internet connection connected directly to your router, and your WAN
side NIC on the SBS box connected to your router. Then all internal clients could be connected to the same switch as the
SBS LAN side NIC. If you do this configuration you will probably be using NAT for both the WAN and LAN interface. Be
sure you set up some kind of IP forwarder on your Linksys Router to get to your internal SBS LAN. An example would be:
Route add 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0.0 192.168.1.2 -p This assumes that your SBS LAN would be on the 10.x network and that your
SBS WAN nic would have the IP address 192.168.1.2.
