How can I forward Port 80 to our web server using Routing & Remote Access?

I just finished setting up a dedicated windows 2003 web server on our network and I'm trying to figure out how to configure the Routing in Routing & Remote Access in SBS08. I want to forward port 80 to the web server. There is no router between the cable modem and the server. The 08 server is the dhcp server and the firewall.

Thanks,
MN

Wait, are you saying you are running SBS 2008 with 2 NICs and one has an external address???

No, I have one NIC connected to Charter's modem. I just want to forward all HTTP requests on port 80 to the web server.

Ok, so let me start by saying that networking is not my forte. The web server is on the internal network on a static ip. There is a switch, now that I'm looking at the network and I feel like a complete idiot. I found the log in for the switch and was able to forward the port on the switch.
...sounds like you have an integrated switch and router.

S yes, you do have a rower, and no, SBS is not acting as a firewall. Just for future reference.

The answer really just helped me figure out that I'm human. I found the switch and made the necessary corrections to forward the port.
Glad you were able to find the switch.. While you're at it create a cabling diagram with the name and location of various items in your network.  I've found switches underneath desks,  above the ceiling tiles, inside clothes closets, you name it .. any out of the way place..
