because SBS 2008 only supports one NIC, you caznnot have two nics on an sbs 2008 server<br />
(and ISA also dissapeared on the premium version)

actually, because they stopped to support isa in the premium version<br />
they advise you to use a seperate appliance for the firewall, which is a good idea in my opinion.

I am a little confused; SBS 2008 only needs one NIC card! On my old Sever I had 2x NIC cards on SBS 2003. The question I want to ask is that on SBS 2003 I had to have a accesses point and a router as I could not have an all-in-one router and wireless due to the 2x Nic Cards configuration. As 2008 does not need to NIC can I have the all-in-one unit?

WIRELESS SBS 2008

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
