Ok problem solved. Here is what I did can you explain why it worked?
1) Uninstalled SP2 for 2003 (which was installed Monday as it turns out)
which caused no change.
2) Uninstalled automatic update from Sunday at 3:00AM which caused no change.
3) Disabled IP routing and Remote Access and restarted Windows Firewall.
Problem resolved.
What triggered me to do the last step you ask?
The server started getting an error message at boot that on or more services
failed to start at the same time the connection issue began. Logical
assumption was that whatever triggered that also triggered this problem. I
searched the event viewer and discovered it was Windows Firewall and ICS
Service that was failing and it pointed to IP ROuting and Remote Access
Service running as the probable cuplrit. So I disabled IP Routing and
Enabled WF and ICS Service and it started fine and then all server resources
were once again available.

Something is fishy..
The server didn't auto-update at 3:00 am, by chance?
Is Windows Server SP2 installed, if so when, and has the network worked
since that time?
With a single nic SBS, the workstations don't go "through" the SBS.
What make and model of NIC is the SBS using?
Please post there result of 'ipconfig /all' run from a command prompt at the
server, and also one from a workstation.

Have a network that working fine until Sunday 3AM and then it fell on its
lips.
Configuration:
1 SBS2003 Server SP2, Single NIC ran to a Netgear 8-Port VPN Firewall
Router
Wire run to Rackmount HUB from Netgear Router
7 computers currently configured to run through SBS for email, shared
drives
and internet.
All computers can ping all computers and netgear router except that the
seven cannot ping the server.
Specifically:
1) The server can ping the clients and the router
2) The clients can ping the router and each other
3) The clients CANNOT ping the server
Originally none of the server resources were available.
If I change the gateway on the clients from the servers ip address to the
routers ip address all the computers are able to access the internet. Of
course they are still unable to use email and access data on the server.
