What you are looking for can't be explained here but i can tell you that you need to install bind (for DNS) and dhcp services on linux.

Which flavor of linux you are looking for?

If it is redhat then have a look at this documentation site:

https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/#RHEL5

FYI, CentOS can be used instead of RHEL. CentOS is RHEL with the propriotary stuff stripped out, its the same distro with slightly different looks, but all the files will be in the same place so the documentation linked above with centos.org cd's will be a great DNS/DHCP server. Ubuntu is another one that would work great and easy to configure with fantastic documentation

Any mainstream Linux distribution will be able to run DHCP server and DNS services (and a lot more). There is a lot of information available on the Web regarding configuring these service in Linux.

I would suggest installing webmin on which ever distribution to ease the pain of administering the server.

And, if you're connecting to Windows workstations you'll need Samba.
