First I would NOT use the WAN port on the internal router. There s/b a
firewall between it and the regular ports so this may be causing some of your
problems. Just plug the internal NIC into a regular "switch" port on the
router.
Then turn OFF DHCP on the Router, you've done this already, and set it up on
the SBS Server. I think you can do this through the setup wizards, but my
memory is failing. Most everything is in CEICW, or the manage my computer.
