Yes, ISA is the firewall that protects your network from intrusion from the
Internet. If you're not using anything reliable for that purpose now, I'd
recommend disconnecting your Internet connection until you get something in
place.
You can install ISA from the setup screen on the Premium Technologies CD,
then run the CEICW to configure it automatically. I don't remember seeing
the prompt you're describing, but if the ISA installer makes you fill in
this information, on your SBS go to Administrative Tools -> DHCP. Click
Address Pool and use the IP addresses in "address range for distribution."
SuperGumby has installed SBS dozens or hundreds of times more than I have,
so if our advice conflicts, take his. But if you tell anyone, I'll deny
saying it : -)
