First, set up your network per the diagram at the M&M's web site. Then
follow the text. Use straight patch cables (not crossover). The Static WAN
IP from your ISP goes on the WAN side of the router. The external NIC on
your SBS and the LAN side of the router must be in the same subnet (example:
192.168.1.x ). The SBS server and your workstations will be in a different
subnet (192.168.16.x). Only the external NIC gets plugged into the LAN side
of the router (no workstations).
Forward any ports that you'll need on the router to your "external" (second)
NIC:
3389: for RDP to server
1723 (along with GRE Protocol 47): for VPN to server
25: for Exchange (if using the SBS server as your direct mailserver)
Any others required
Since ICW can't get out to the Internet, I suspect that's why it's failing.
If you're truly using a 24-port "hub" (and not a switch), consider buying a
switch for your SBS/workstations. Network access should increase
significantly.
