Have you considered Windows Small Business Server 2003? It is a sweet
package that integrates Windows Server 2003, Exchange Server 2003, OWA,
Remote Workplace, and your own AD + Client-side setup, all configured and
ready to go, scaling up to 75 users, and costs less than what you've already
purchased...

If you gave it a server with two NICs, knew the list of client PC names, it
would have done all this configuration automatically with a couple wizards
by now, totally secured.

Personally, I think every company that doesn't have an IT Dept nor budget
should look at Windows Small Business Server 2003 because it packs a lot of
well integrated solutions. Heck, for my own home network I'm using SBS
because it's useful for 2-75 users. :-)

You don't need to take my word for it. Look around technology publications
and you'll see that they've been raving about Windows Small Business Server
2003.

Ok... makes sense... We have a firewall from Netgear, but according to my
ISP, I need to get a better one. They recommended CISCO, but it is too
expensive for  our business (only 50 PCs).
Can anyone recommend something better that won't break our wallet?
Thanks
