Hi Wally,

Please provide sufficient information of this post for us to be able to answer you. With the current info you've provided, you'll get all sorts of replies and most will lead you nowhere.

I don't know if you want the PC to act as a gateway or firewall or both.

Typically, the ADSL router will have all the necessary configuration setup for you to plug it straight into your network (albeit some changes and considerations are required). The LAN port of your router would need to have an IP assigned to it (unless this is provided to you by the ISP). Next you need to attach this LAN to a nic on your SBS (add another NIC on the SBS server) and configure this NIC to the same network as the router. Your SBS server would do all the necessary routing between your local network and the internet.

To protect your internal network, you may want to configure a PC as a firewall/gateway.
