I have a T1 into the building with 2 separate firewalls for 2 separate networks. One network (N1) is W2K based for one set of companies in the building.

The other is Linux based network (N2) running Samba/Cups for file sharing and printing. N2 has 3 unix/linux boxes, 1 Mac and a MS XP box accessing it. I've just added an additional XP box, yet to be added to the network.

Issue:
I can't access the N2 Web Server (primary Linux Server) or it's sites/files outside of the network. I have some DNS/IP caching on the server to allow for the internal access.

Further info:
I have an IP assigned to the T1 Modem, the initial Router, and each Firewall. I have separate 192.168.0.0 and .1.0 addresses running for each network behind each firewall.

I am not currently able to access apps on N1 outside the network, but I've not started trouble shooting that issue yet. It's the w2k server and there may have been some settings changed when the new configuration was installed.

You might also try http://www.enterpriseitplanet.com since these forums are mostly geared at SOHO networks. They also have a forum too and it is geared at business networks.

I've submitted to the forum you recommended. Thanks for that. I added some additional information based on what I've learned on this forum. Thanks people for this resource. Hopefully Enterprise's community can assist with my problem.

Good luck and that's great that you were able to leverage some information from the SOHO networking threads here.

Just as an apprisal:
http://forums.enterpriseitplanet.com is a great resource. The moderators have great suggestions, as they do here. I learned a bunch here too, but as of today, 3/4s of my woes are alleviated. Suffice it to say port forwarding can be a little tricky. Rebooting servers, occasionally, when making physical changes may help (yes that was for you Linux guys).
