Sorry, I'm still a little confused. I think I've miss understood a basic
point here. My WAN staic IP address is what I used to configure my
external
NIC on the SBS, but this isn't correct?

Is this the correct setup I need?

WAN static IP: ( 74.x.x.x )

+----------------------------------------------+
| DSL 4 port MODEM/ROUTER |
| ( 192.168.1.1 ) |
| DHCP on, with ( 192.168.1.2 ) excluded | *******
| NAT on | ******** you need
to port forward from 1.1 to 1.2
+----------------------------------------------+
| |
| |
| +------------------------+
| | Temp computers |
| |IP assigned via DHCP |
| +------------------------+
|
+-------------------+
| Ext. NIC |
| ( 192.168.1.2 ) | *****************
+-------------------+
|
+------------+
| SBS 2003 |
+------------+
|
+---------------------+
| Int. NIC |
| ( 192.168.16.1 ) | ********** The SBS default scope would give the
SBS 192.168.16.2 (but you can use .1 if you like).

DHCP on the router is ok to enable, with a two nic sbs. Just exclude the
IP
address that the SBS external nic is on from the DHCP scope. This will
simplify connections for the non-sbs workstations as they can pick up the
network settings automatically.

Hi Mark

I presme your router is a multi-port device, and that you have given it
a
static IP conneced to the 2nd (external) NIC of SBS and is NAT enablied

Therfore all you need to do is give you non SBS clients an static Ip in
the
range of the routers LAN IP

E.G. if the routers LAN IP (NOT External WAN to the ISP) is 192.168.0.2
and
say SBS external IP is 192.168.0.1 then give give your client PCs
192.168.0.3
upwards

Remember turn off the router DHCP or it will stop SBS's from working

If your router is a one port device put it through a hub or
switch )verify
it is NAT enabled though

regards
Matt

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out the best way to setup my network for what
I
need
it to accomplish. I have an SBS 2003 server, 2 internal nic's, static
IP,
router/access point, ISA 2000, and a switch, that I have setup for
training
purposes. My work computer that I want to setup as a client to the
server,
and many temporary computers (computer repair company) that need to
have
easy
access to the internet (but not the server).
So I want to use the static IP for SBS server, using DHCP
internally
for
the one client, but still connect the temp computers to the internet
without
having to setup them up as client computers to the server.
Is there a way to let the internet connection pass through the SBS
server
to a switch, without setting up any connected computers as clients, or
must I
enable DHCP in the router/access point and setup SBS in a 1 nic
topology?
Thanks for any suggestions.
