Changed my display name.
Thanks for the help. It turns out that the server utility I installed was
preventing SBS from communicating. The problem I had connecting from my Vista
machine was due to a routing problem with my ISP. I can't visit my website
from my own workstation. Hopefully there will be a fix.

Is there a Vista / SBS 2003 connection problem? Is there something I can
check locally on the server to verify the installation? What should I see
when I navigate to Http://companyweb/ locally on the server? At the moment it
brings up the Supero management tool. Perhaps I need to dump that? Is it
really this hard to get a SBS running?

No, not if you don't install additional third-party web servers.

Seriously, it's rather arrogant of the writer of any piece of software
to assume that you don't need whatever web server you were already
running when it was installed. It's customary for single-purpose web
servers attached to other products to either use an obscure unprivileged
port or to ask the installer. Certainly, it should test for existing web
servers when installed, and should never usurp a port already in use.
