You're right about that. The satellite ISP we use said they might bew ready
to offer static IP's by March-April (fairly new). If not, then I'm doing
the DDNS route.

So you basically have all computers, including the SBS server, behind a
single router. Now, you're going to add an unknown computer on that same
segment but just not join it to the SBS domain. It'll work to get him
Internet access, but isn't the best from a security standpoint. You
really need to get that 2nd NIC working. :-)

I've got 2 NIC's but only 1 is in use; I don't have a static or dynamic
IP yet - all is handled by DHCP by our ISP.
Got a router.
Running Premium Version. Not runing ISA 2004 for reasons stated above.
He will be in our dormitory (for long-term researchers) which is
connected to our router through a single Cat5 cable. Half the rooms
there have live wall ports. He won't be in this building at all.
Don't have wireless.

Do you have a (2 NICs + router) setup, 2 NICs only setup, or a single
NIC/router setup?
Is this SBS 2003 Premium (i.e., with ISA 2000 installed)?
Will he be providing his own computer (laptop)?
Will he be "roaming" to other Ethernet jacks within your building?
Have you thought about the security implications of an unknown computer
on your network (viruses/trojans/spyware)?
Does he need a wireless connection?
A (2 NIC + router) setup provide the best security and allow you to
configure an "Ethernet jack" to be outside your network to protect your
SBS server and workstations. You would connect the Ethernet wall jack
to a port on the router and assign the visitor's computer a static IP
address in the same subnet as the router and with a default gateway of
the router itself. This would allow him to have Internet access but no
access to your SBS network.

Sorry if this is a dumb question.
Running SBS 2K3 LAN over 10BaseT. Got a visitor who'll be working in
the area for 6 weeks who needs internet access. All he should need to
do is plug into an active wall outlet, right? (He has no need to be
joined in any way to the network.)
