Hi,

DNS on your external nic should ** ONLY ** point to your server IP. Make
sure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is disabled.

I think you will want to disable the 2nd IP on the external nic before
running CEICW. After running that, you can enable it again. Assuming that
you need that 2nd IP....
Enable DHCP on the SBS server and set your clients to obtain an IP and DNS
automatically. Default the first 10 IP's in the DHCP scope are reserved for
static machines like servers and printers.
