I will be setting up a Domain soon. The server OS will be Windows 2003 Small Business Standard Edition, which includes Exchange 2003.
They currently have a broadband connection at the site with a Dynamic IP address. Is this ok or to run Exchange is there a requirement for a Static IP address.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Are you planning on having internet email? If so, I would get a static IP address.
If you can't get a static IP address, you can have your email sent to a mail server at an ISP, and then configure the exchange server to retrieve it from there.Andy

You need something static to resolve the name of your mail server. I've fought with my ISP for about a month and found I can't get one in my area.
Register a domain, then go to dyndns.org and have a DNS record set up to get around this. You may need additional services if your ISP blocks/filters port 25 (sending mail) or 110 (receiving).I'm not a complete idiot... some parts are missing.
