Thank you for the response. The web site will be "externally" facing, but I
will use the server for internal purposes also. In reading the
documentation, it gave the impression that if you had two network cards it
would kind of automatically setup all the external facing stuff (i.e. remote
access, OWA, web server, etc.) for you in more of a locked down mode and
publish everything else (i.e. sharepoint) on the inside interface. However,
if you only select the one network configuration then you kind of have to
configure all of that stuff manually.

I am ok with using 192.x.x but would you recommend just running it on one
segment, or two?

Thanks
