complete loss, if anyone has any ideas to the solutions that would be
great but please remember im a complete novice so you might have to
put it in lamen terms sorrry

Hi - in addition to Anna's reply -

You don't have to use 2 NICs - this should be a very easy thing to sort out
with a single NIC. Nothing changes on your LAN at all (your SBS server
should be running DHCP services for your LAN). You just assign the correct
LAN IP to the Sonicwall, if you aren't using their default subnet on your
netowkr. The rest is all done in the Sonicwall itself.

I also suggest that when you get your Sonicwall sorted out, you export the
configuration file so you don't run into similar problems in the future -
you can just import that file to a new unit and not have to reconfigure
everything.

In the future, please post using separate
paragraphs, proper capitalization & spelling, and you will get far more help
in these newsgroups. Your post is a bit difficult to read.
