When you run CEICW, under "Web Server Certificate", what are you using for
the "Web Server Name"? It should be your FQDN (yourcompany.com) if you have
a static IP and the A or MX records have been created, or the WAN IP address
of your router if you don't have a domain name. If you have a dynanically
assigned WAN IP from your ISP, then you can use either the WAN IP address
or, since that IP may change, you can sign up for a DDNS account (like
yourcompany.dyndns.org) and use that to create the certificate. You
shouldn't have to worry about the SBS Basic firewall if you only have 1 NIC
in your server.

That said, at some point time, I'd like to see you go to a 2-NIC
configuration for better security and possibly easier troubleshooting.
