Mapping static IP's

I just upgraded to SBC static DSL for my home network...

I have 4 static IP's...

They sent me a 2Wire router and a link to    http://shasta.2wire.com/    which allows me to "practice" setting the router up...

I don;t know what my static IP's are...they told me they were going to send me a list, never did...then they told me that when I get to the appropriate place in the setup of the 2Wire, I would be able to see the static IP's...we'll see...

What I have:
Speedstream dynamic DSL which will be replaced by the 2Wire...
W2003 SBS installed in a Dell Poweredge 2300...it has 2 NICS, one unused...setup as a very simple DC...
Linksys RE042 router using internal DHCP...would like to keep it as the router for my lan if possible...
Several computers, all on XP pro...

What I want to do:
Set up IIS to host my own website(s)...
Setup an FTP server...
DHCP to my LAN from the router...

Questions:
To set up the server as IIS, File Server and FTP...do I establish 3 public static IP's, do I need a NIC for each one???
Then, does SBS have the ability to internally use the established IP for the particular service???
OR...how do I "set" a specific public IP for the FTP service or the IIS service in SBS???
This, I expect puts those 2 IP's outside the DMZ...so what do I need on the server for "protection"???...I have Norton CE and Sygate on the server...do I need anything else???...

If I want to use my RE042 on my lan, do I set it up as a bridge and assign one of my public IP's to it???...then I expect I could use it to DHCP my IP's to my LAN...is that right???

My goal today is to get the 2Wire set up, find out, if I can, what my public IP's are...and get one IP set for my LAN...

There will be more questions, but I will put those in different posts...

Thanx
Steve

you could put all your services on the same IP but if you wanted them to have different IPs you could install virtual server from microsoft (now free) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/virtualserver/default.mspx
you can also create virtual NICs with Windows Load Balancing Service
One NIC will do all three.  Go into network properties, local area connection, properties, TCP setup properties and there you will see what the static IP is set to.  DO the same for IIS and any FTP server.

"Set up IIS to host my own website(s)...
Setup an FTP server..."

You wont be able to do this using DSL.  Sometimes you can use DynDNS to get a "fixed" IP from the WAN side, but in many DSL providers, they block this, because they do NOT want people doing exactly what you are trying to do -- it hogs too much bandwidth from cable or DSL, and almost all ISPs that give out these services will block outgoing ports 80 and 21, which kills IIS and FTP.

Well...when I ordered the static service from SBC, I specifically asked them if I can set up an IIS and FTP site, and they said yes...so, well find out...

Thanx for the info on using a single NIC...will check it out...

OK...
Here is where I'm at with this...
Setting up the 2Wire for Static IP's wasn't that hard...I am going to open another question and detail how I set it
up and got it working in case someone else wants to do the same thing I am...

I have my RE042 feeding my lan...I haven't had a chance to do anything with the server...it's just a DC and file server right now...

Probably next week or so I'll work on the FTP and IIS, get static IP's set...

But right now, I'm up and running...

Thanx for your help and comments...
I'll watch for the next one, glad it helped.
