Okay I have a few questions.
First is my Cable ISP gives me a Dynamic IP Address. But I would like to set up a home net work with Windows 2003 server.

I would like to physically set it up this way. Modem to Router with DHCP turned off on the router, then router to server with DHCP, then server to switch and the switch of course to the other systems.

My biggest question is how do I get AD, DHCP, and DNS to work properly. I tried to set it up before and failed. :confused:

Any help would be appreciated. I also am very new to this but need to learn this.
