Network was working fine with a single NIC, router/gateway, DSL modem config.
 
Had problems with DSN, so took advice and installed a 2nd NIC. However,
since installing the 2nd NIC, 1) I can access the Internet from the SBS but
cannot access from the clients, 2) clients don't see the SBS, 3) when I
attempt to run the Email and Connect to Internet Wizard I get the message "
the wizard can't set tghe DHCP scope options. Ensure that the DHCP server
service is running and that the scope is defined. Alternately , disable the
DHCP service manually, and then configure hyour client computer IP address
properties"

When I go to Admin -> Services and try to start the DHCP, it tries to start
(acts if working) but is not successful. Under Admin -> DHCP there is no
network server shown. If I try to install one it will not let me (i guess
since DHCP is not running)

(There are no IP Address settings of the clients. If I set them manually,
then I can access the server. Though, I still can't access the Internet from
the clients.)
