are you using ISA?
are you planning on using 1 or 2 NIC cards?

Note: SBS was designed to work best with 2 NIC cards for added security -
with one NIC connected to the router going to the internet, and the second
NIC connected to your hub or swqitch with the rest of your internal
workstations.

In this setup, for the NIC connected to the external router to the
internet, the gateway address should be the internal IP address of your
router. And the DNS address should point to the IP address of your internal
NIC card

INTERNET

(Public IP address)

ROUTER

(Internal IP address)
(eg: 192.168.1.1)

NIC #1 NIC #2
(192.168.1.2) (10.0.0.2)
                                                 |
                                        ----------------
                                        | Hub/switch |
                                        ----------------
