Hi,

If you added another NIC, I assume that the topology should be as follows:

Internet --- SBS --- Switch --- Client computers.

At this time, please re-run CEICW and publish FTP. Please refer to the
following KB:

How to configure Internet access in Windows Small Business Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=825763

If you have any questions, please feel free to post back.

Have a nice day!
