Joe,

Might I suggest asking a more appropriate forum like

a) The NC Sysadmins
b) The NT Users Group
c) Internetworkers

Or, if you want to make it relevant to this list, put a linux box
in front of it and direct the appropriate connections to the 
windows box.  

Otherwise, this is not an appropriate trilug post (just like
asking about battery disposal is not).
