Hello Christopher,
    It's a BEFVP41, and I did try to forward the ports with no luck. I have
read other posts on this group where people have had trouble with Linksys
routers.

I"m thinking at this point that the easiest thing might be to upgrade our
SBS2k3 SE to a dual nic box, and leave the router out of the picture all
together. However, the only dual nic configuration notes I've seen have all
been for SBS2k3 Premium. So, I need to get some more information there.

But if you do have a suggestion for my Linksys, I'll be happy to try
anything at this point!

Thanks!

Chester
