Hi Im just installing SBS 2003 on my 32bit server for practise and then going to learn how to migrate across to a separate server to upgrade to Win 2008 standard and not SBS 2008 as I do not have a 64 bit machine anyhow!!
My ISP provider is with Virginmedia and I have a 'Netgear Model No: VMDG280', which I can configure using the 'Gui' and as there is NO NAT, it has 'DHCP' instead.
Im sure Ive read somewhere that the 'ICF' is the protection between inside/outside so wanted to check is there anything else I should do to protect my server if I use all Wizards as per instructions say to?
I will also install Kaspersky on all host pc's and I assume from their this is sufficient!
Could someone advise?

Hi As I have no 'Firewall' and realise if the money is spent then I realise that there are better ways to secure a network!!! Kaspersky comes with its own 'Firewall' although I realise not a preferred method!
What about those users who may have anything from 1 user to 19 users - Im assuming they will use the hardware that is on offer in the shops today?
Ive been told by others that if the amount of users on a network is around '25 +', then buying 'SBS' software may well be the prefferred method if the company is progressing!!
Is this correct?
I dont wont to be stifled with too much advice as my 'objective' is to learn how to install SBS 2003 firstly!
I have 2500/2600/3600 routers that maybe I could connect and configure to act as a 'Firewall' later!!!!!!!!!!!

Ideally YES I would separate onto multiple servers to understand better planning etc
I would like to learn about how to do migration practically first of all and then 'READ' afterwards!!
What about SBS 2003 migrating to Windows 2003 Standard/Enterprise as I have enough 32bit servers to do this?
Later when funds are there I can look at buying other equipment to do what you suggest which I agree!!!
