Bert-- You have made several references to SBS Essentials running DHCP rather than from the router (as I have now set up)
This from a Microsoft person:
SBS essentials is primarily desinged to use router DHCP for ease of deployment. DHCP is fully supported on the server if you want to use that, but it does provide an extra admin step that is not included as part of the dashboard admin. Personally I would continue to use the router DHCP as it integrates into the SBSe environment well, and if something ever happens to the server for it to be offline, your clients can still easiy get to the net. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This post is "AS IS" and confers no rights.

Any comment?
I'm getting closer to understanding how this will all work in my environment. I haven't figured out what to do with Remote Web Access-- when I try to set it up, the wizard tries to set up the router but chokes (say UPnP not enabled, but in the router setup screen it is enabled). Also, to use it, I guess I need some kind of web site, and the wizard sends me to GoDaddy to register and do a bunch of stuff. What will that get me?
How is web access different from Remote Desktop? Of course, I can't make that work yet, either -- must have the permissions wrong again. Logmein works fine -- I can see why people use it. Less fussing around. I need remote access, because I do a lot of charting at home (I am STRONGLY discouraged from staying after office hours to do records.)
Also in reply to a couple of comments above -- Doctors don't do just doctor stuff. Many of us fly airplanes and other technical activities unrelated to medicine. I just happen to like to do electronics -- it's cheaper and safer than flying, for one thing, and it has some marginal relevance to medicine, especially nowadays.
