Yes, this can be done Mick. But with SBS, you've got all your eggs in one
basket. In bigger companies, they would want to use a separate server for
web site development, one for Exchange, one for file stroage, etc. With
SBS, it's all on one server. And all workstations need direct access to the
SBS server to function properly in a "domain" environment. For efficiency
and centralization, all user data, mail, etc. should remian on the SBS
server.

Your present thinking may still be influenced by "Peer-to-Peer" processes.
You'll need to switch your thinking to a "Client-Server" mode.

Hmmm ... ok really showing off my bright shiny NEWBIE sign here ...

I'm developing web applications and services using ASP.NET 2.0 and wish to
deploy those on the server under IIS. I thought the idea was to open up
port
80 traffic to the server so that IIS can pick it up and deal with it as
appropriate ?

In a single NIC configuration, you can't enable the builtin SBS 2003
firewall Mick, you've got to plug SBS into the router and depend on the
router's firewall. Also, none of the pros here will recommend you open
port
80 to your server.

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.
