If you have a public IP on the External and a private IP on the internal,
and are using it as a NAT router, you will be better off just configuring
ISA server.
I would recommend either configuring the 3com OfficeConnect firewall (made
by a firewall maker that has the initials of SW) for NAT and then using
only the Internal NIC of SBS2000 or fully configuring ISA on SBS.
What is it you want to accomplish using the 3com first?
