Hi,

I have just started to setup a Home Domain.
1. Should the machine from where i am running the DC have static ip address.
2. First should DNS be installed or ADS.
3. Its taking the ip from the router.When i install DHCP on the DC what will happen.

Regards
Sharath

What ip address is the router??
192.168.0.1 is the router address

It gives out
192.168.0.4 to the DC
Ok, do you want your router to be your DHCP or your new DC server?

I would suggest that your DC should give out the ip addresses.

So, if you statically assign an ip address to the network card on your server. Set it as 192.168.0.4, subnet 255.255.255.0 and set the gateway to be 192.168.0.1.
That should allow you to get to the web from your server.

Then setup the DHCP on your server and disable the DHCP part of your router.
Install DNS on your DC and you are away.
