What should I do Windows 2003 server

Hello all,

I have a network that consists of:
6 workstations
1 Windows 2003 SB Server
1 Linksys router being used with an 8 port hub
1 Linksys WAP being used for wireless with a 4 port hub not doing anything
1 24 port SOHO hub
12 IP Addys

Here is how the network works now:
Cable Internet comes into the closet and goes into the provided Cisco Cable device(4 ports on back)
1 Port goes out to the SOHO HUB and then the HUB goes out to all the offices and workstations
1 Port goes to the WAP and not using the router ports just wireless
Each computer, including the server, is assigned a static public IP address for Internet connectivity

Here is what I want. I want to bring everything internal and only have 1 static IP. That static IP will be the router, and then I want to use DHCP on the server to give IP's. OR do I? PLease tell me the best way to secure this network!

Thanks in advance!

The plan above is great.
The only thing I would suggest changing is the IP range. Everyone + DOG uses either 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x. If you setup any VPN (inbound or outbound) and the other side is also using the same range then things can go weird.
Use a higher number as third octet - my favourite is to use the double digits (11, 22. 33, 44 etc) and this avoids most conflicts.
