    Are you running the dns server and is that authorised?
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    It shouldn't be a problem unless you have the DHCP server in the router enabled. SBS won't like the presence of a rogue DHCP server.

    Not possible... something else happened.
    Have you checked for viruses/spyware?
    Have you checked services to see if the workstation service is started?

    1) Make sure your router's DHCP is disabled.

    2a) Make sure your server is using static IP information. (It actually sounds like this wasn't the case, that it was getting its network info from the router, and when you disabled the router's DHCP, the server went wonky; though I don't recall ever seeing any error messages such as the ones you have described in relation to bad IP info...[shrug])

    2b) Make sure the info from 2a is correct.

    3) Make sure the DNS, DHCP, Router, Gateway, and WINS information are entered (and correct) and configured properly in their respective setup areas on your server.

    4) Cross fingers.

    =D
