Re: SBS 2003 Setup (newbie)

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Is this your proposed set up?

Internet
|
DSL Modem
|
Router F/W ---> SBS Server
|
PCs (connected to router ports)


Or is it...

Internet
|
DSL Modem
|
Router F/W
|
SBS Server
|
PCs (Server and PCs connected to a common switch)

Thanks - read all of that. I have a single NIC in my server and was
plannign
to set up like this (apologies for the crude stick drawing) ...

(ADSL)
|
Router F/W
|

----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Router F/W SBS
2003
|
|
PC1, PC2, etc

Reasons for the above ...

a) Port 80 can be routed directly to the server which hosts IIS
b) Server is protected by hardware firewall, plus it's own
c) Even if the server is hacked, other LAN still protected

Comments welcome

Hi Mick,

Time for more reading... :-)

Although you may not want to hear this, plan on setting up SBS three
times:

.... From a post by Kevin Weilbacher [SBS-MVP]

1. Do it once to find out what it wants (as you have just found out), and
what you need
2. Do it again, this time taking detail notes of how you answer every
prompt
and every selection
3. Then do it a third time, in order to ensure your notes are correct.

During one of the first "To-Do" tasks followign initial setup, the
server
asked me for the IP address of the router. Does it mean the internal IP
address or the static IP address supplied by my ISP ?

Presumably it must mean the latter. It asked me to switch off the
router
DHCP during setup so the router would presumably get it's IP from the
server.
