Domain Controller (AD)

[scopestech]

I am setting up active directory on Win2KServer and was wondering, for the IP adress, and dns servers, since we connect to the internet by wireless router, and i want to still be able to access the internet on the router aswell as all the computers access the server, should I use the same Ip addresses and whatever on the server to the router?

(I have no knowledge and this is my way of learning :L)

You can setup ip addressing stuff on the router the same as all the other computers in the network. Just give it a static ip outside of the dhcp range of router.

If you want to use it as a domain controller you have to point the dns to itself (127.0.0.1). But that'll probably be done automatically when your promoting the server to domain controller. The dns server on the domain controller has to forward unknown dns queries to the isp dns servers or some other free to use dns server. Google has 4.4.4.4 and 8.8.8.8.
