Need IT advice on set up.

Just re-reading some of the highlights of this thread...are you keeping the email with an external provider, or moving it to the SBS box ? - I would move it to SBS, as this gives you more flexibility.

If doing so you need an exchange-aware antivirus and antispam suite...

WPA2 is also useless if everyone knows the key

well , i can be into your wep network in 10 mins flat , it would take me weeks to break your WPA2 key

Intend on moving it to the SBS box

Are you running the wireless from the same router (using builtin wireless) as the Office network LAN, or do you have 2 subnets (Office, visitors) ?

Using two subnets to keep them totally separate

This is a big learning curve for me thought I was reasonable at IT until I started this, good job the guy across the road runs his own IT consultancy and all it's costing me is beer and a free service

Even though I'm in IT.....it is good to hear how others set stuff up, and what works for them.......It's one of the ways we learn....

If you're moving the email to the SBS box, set up some basic port forwarding on the router, so you can use OWA (I also go with a godaddy cert, as most browsers accept these)
