I'd leave the modem in bridged mode, use the NetGear for login, and run dual
NICs in the server.

One NIC connects to the router, the other to your local network switch.

http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=28 for all 'best practice'
network setups.
http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=50 for what I normally get.
http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=52 for a preferred business
setup.

thanks to the lovely M&M's, Merv, Les, and several other people.
