Thanks for the help guys. I locked down everything except ports 443
and 25 and I feel much better. I do currently have a NAT device
installed but NAT is disabled. The DSL Modem I have is a Netopia
Cayman 3546 broadband router with a 4 port switch. My "client" is
actually 3 clients sharing one office suite. One client
(aforementioned) has a domain network the other two clients are
peer-to-peer, connecting to the Cayman router for Web access using
their own wireless routers and static i.p.'s (3 distinct networks).
The peer-to-peer clients connect to the domain network using VPN to
access the domain network's scanner (hence file server) and printers.
All clients access their desktops remotely using Remote Administrator.
I'm not worried about the wireless routers security, each router has a
built-in firewall and all workstations behind the routers are running a
software firewall.

Rather than enable NAT on the Cayman I think I'll go buy an inexpensive
NAT device and put it between the Cayman and the domain. It seems like
it would be less work and less disruptive. Anyone see any flaws with
this logic?

Thanks again for everyone's help.
