The article provides a thorough walk-through of features relevant to installing SBS in the typical home environment.

The latest version of NetMon is now available for download via the Connect site (Passport and registration required).  If you've ever used NetMon 2.0 (the version included with Windows Server 2003), you know that that it's a bit dated (to be kind).  NetMon 3.0 offers intelligent filtering, real-time capture and display, a completely new UI, and much more.  Highly recommended:
