History:
I was using a peer to peer network. I installed a SBS 2003 that has 2 NIC
cards. I was going to use built in Routing to connect to my DSL modem and the
built in SBS DHCP service but changed my mind after the installation was
complete.

Problem:
I can not join my domain it says I don't have permission. I can't even share
any of the resources on my server. I can't get into my server because all of
my clients are on a workgroup.

Current setup:
My DSL modem/router/DHCP server connects to my switch. All my clients and 1
NIC on my server connect to the same switch. All computers including my
server have NIC's set to obtain IP automatically.

What I need to do:
I need to have access to shared drive on my SBS server so I can run backup
programs from my server to my clients.

Help:
I'm very new to SBS 2003. I know a bit about NT server but that doesn't help
much hear. I need simple step by step instructions on how to fix this.
