Should be
Router then server then workstations
Switch can be lit up all the time
Remember when configuring the router that it only needs to forward Ports
25
443
444 (if you want access to companyweb from the outside)
4125
3389 (if you want direct RDP)
Port 80 should not be open!
This is a consumer class router, not a business class though
