I did some testing from home last night. Ran tracert to the ip of my
company SBS2003 server ( I've got SBS2003 server with 2 nics) from my home
cable modem internet connection and it goes all the way to my company's
"front door" and times out.

I then pinged my company router addresses and got responses, pinged my
SBS2003 server, no response. I then connected my home computer to a dial-up
ISP and was able to ping everything and make my remote connection.

It seems like SBS2003 just doesn't like my origin IP when I trying to come
in via my cable modem connection but I can't find any reason for that since
all of my ISA packet filters specify "Any" for the Remote computer
