AD / dhcp and dns help

[rippinchikkin]

ok Im going to make this a simple as possiable. Im setting up a brand
new server on a network, there are no other servers on the network. so
this will be my dc, i have installed dns and have it directed to our
ISP. ( i think i did this right)
I have assigned the server a static IP, and I have a router that I
was wanting to use for firewall protection and dhcp services, for the
clients.
will this work , or do i need to allow w2k server to run dhcp and
take the router out of the loop?
that is the question, basicly will ad run properly with the router
doing dhcp, or shoud I remove the router and let the setver do it all
if any one needs any further info please let me know

T1 line
linksy router
linksy 16 port switch
1 windows 2000 server
10 clients running win XP
4 clients running win 98s

Your primary DNS should be the private IP address of your new 2000 DNS Server (resolves faster for network users) Your secondary DNS should be the ISP's DNS Server.

I personally would allow the new server to manage the DHCP services and add the DNS setting in the scope for your clients.

Good Luck
