The sbs only came with 1 NIC preconfigured with SBS 2003 (by Dell). It was
a deal at the time and I did not think to ask for a second NIC.
The ADSL router currently goes straight to the LAN, hence my getting a
Firewall/Router to place inbetween the ADSL Router and the LAN.
The firewall/router I bought has a DMZ port, which I need to isolate a
webserver I am about to receive.
Are you suggesting
i) I get a second NIC and do away with the Firewall/Router altogether. Then
use an alternative method to secure the webserver.
or
ii) I get a second NIC, place the firewall/router between the ADSL router
(in bridge mode) and the second NIC. Then use the DMZ port to place the
webserver outside of the LAN (with relevant rules in place on the
firewall/router to give the webserver access to the database server in the
LAN)?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Joseph, may I just ask, Installation notes / installation screen of SBS
recommends 2 network cards and is 100 times more secure. Any reason why
not implemented?
The link I provided shows how to configure with 2 nics and is the
recommended route.
I am sorry but wouldn't like to advise any different as would be unable to
support.
Fianally, is the ADSL router plugged into the LAN. If so one main reason
for two nics (internet nic on different lan) if hacker gets past the
router then they have nowhere to go in 2 nic scenario. Router plugged into
lan, get past that and they can get everywhere.
Hope my info helps and apologise if it gives any issues.

So you recommend I buy a new ADSL modem that is not a router at all, or
that I just configure the one I have to be in bridge mode?

I always use an ADSL modem only in bridge mode and have an additional low
end Linksys or DLink between that and the SBS external NIC with ISA 2004
on all my installs.
I've never heard of an ISP not providing a gateway IP when they provide
a static IP.

When I select Static IP on the WAN side of the firewall I am asked for
a gateway IP, which IP would this be? Not the original IP of the adsl
router I assume, and my ISP (Nildram) does not provide a gateway IP,
only DNS'
Thanks.

I have an ADSL router (with static IP address), which uses NAT to pass
various stuff around.
I have just bought a Firewall/Router (DLink DFL-700), which I would
like to place between the ADSL router and the network.
So my questions:
Do I need to configure the ADSL router as a bridge connection? If so,
should I then configure the WAN side of the firewall with the static
IP (provided by the ISP) that was originally with the ADSL router?
If I configure the ADSL Router as a bridge connection, will all my NAT
settings be invalidated (which is what I would really like), or should
I remove all the NAT settings by hand?
If I configure the ADSL Router as a bridge connection, will it lose
it's LAN IP address, and so I will no longer be able to configure it
using the routers Web UI?
Thanks for any advice.
