Can you check what your SBS IP address is?  And, for good measure, check
what the subnet mask is?

Irrespective of that - which should be checked anyway - I don't like
DHCP for servers because DHCP address assignments always have an expiry
period.  On some routers, this can be as little as 30 mins, though
probably longer in your case.  (Something you could check, if you
wanted, on your router's setup pages.)

Nevertheless, the address will expire sometime, and the server will ask
for another.  Two things happen at this point:
(i) during this time, the SBS can not be seen by anything, nor can it
see anything, and
(ii) the router will assign an address.  It might not be the same
address, unless you are, genuinely, certain that you have forced the
router to always assign that same address.

For servers, my own preference is to use permanent/fixed IP addresses,
to avoid either of those problems happening.  (It also helps in case I
ever need to set up specific routes/firewalls etc.)

But, regardless if you want to do that, do check what the SBS IP
address, and subnet, is at the moment, just to make sure.

Not that I think it matters, but is your SBS on Linux or Windows?  And
have you a separate machine on which you could run Squeezeplay?
