Marina,
I suspect there are a lot of companies like ours that are using SBS 2003
with PoP 3 mail, hosted sites and small, inexpensive routers (Linksys,
D-Link, NetGear). If it will help any other potential users, I'd be happy to
model my system and settings, much like is on the smallbizserver.net site.
It could be "Two Nics, a static IP address, No ISA, Std SBS with ISP hosted
site - POP3 mail" Perhaps there is a shorter title but I bet there are a
bunch out there like me.

If it would be of value, I'll do the page modeling and send it your way for
proofing?

Paul P
