Hi Bob,
In my experience it's best to have a separate firewall
(either an appliance type or another computer), in
addition to your DSL router and your SBS server. This
offers a better level of protection and ensures that
attacks that possibly bring your firewall down (and cut
you off from the outside) do not corrupt anything on your
SBS server itself. Just get your firewall back up and
that's that.
I'd recommend a netscreen XP Firewall appliance for a
small to med. sized network (<50 machines)- I'm using one
and it's rock solid. Symantec also makes an appliance
type firewall that is cheaper, but a little harder to
configure. Google either of these and you'll get lots of
info.
