Russell,
There are a couple of ways that you could configure your network. Since you're using SBS Standard and not Premium, I'll assume that there is no ISA Server on your network.
A typical configuration would be to have your ISP's router connected to your firewall device. [I'll assume that your Symantec router is really your firewall.] The firewall would have a public IP address assigned by the ISP to the WAN port, and it would have a private address (192.168.etc.etc) assigned to its LAN port.
The server needs to have only a single NIC on the same subnet as the firewall LAN port. So if the firewall LAN port is at 192.168.0.1, then you could put your server at 192.168.0.2 and your workstations and network printers would follow the pattern.
To access features of the server remotely (such as Outlook Web Access or Remote Web Workplace), you will need to setup port forwarding on the firewall. Examples: port 25 for inbound email, 443 for HTTPS needed for OWA, 4125 needed for Remote Web, etc.

We have SBS 2003 std that we've been using for a few months now. We now want to access the server remotely and setup Exchange. We have 1 NIC, do we need (or is it preferred) 2? The first NIC is a local IP 192..., do we setup the 2nd NIC with one of our public IPs? Is there something I need to do in our Symantec router (forward ports or something)? (It's not recognized by SBS.) Is it better if I use the VPN in the router?
Thanks.
