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.
This is one instance I would advocate a two NIC setup:
Router with DHCP

SBS WAN Nic (192.168.1.2) and other unknown machines in 192.168.1.x
DMZ)

In the SBS Box, the second NIC (192.168.2.1) containing your trusted
clients.
You then allow the router DHCP to run, allowing public computers to
get the Internet settings of the router, without compromising your SBS
box. The other machines can access the SBS box, but only the WAN side
services (i.e, SMTP in, etc).
Andrew.
