Set up DNS, DHCP, Router, and Active Directory to UVerse Home Network
I am setting up a server for my house using Server 2008 Standard on a barebones system for fun. I added a PCI NIC card so I have 2 ethernet ports (Including the one on the Motherboard). Here is what I have: 1) I am using the Uverse Gateway as my modem with wireless turned off. 2) I connected the Uverse Gateway (IP is 192.168.1.254) to one port and it has assigned my server as the dmz server giving it a public IP like "99.12.34.5" with "192.168.1.254" acting as it gateway and dhcp server. My question is how do I now connect the server to the Netgear WNR834Bv2 router using the other port? What IPs do I use, subnet mask, gateway, etc? I would like my server to be the dhcp and dns controller for the network that is attached to it, but I do not know how to configure everything. I also have 2 other routers that are the exact same as the first one that I will use as repeaters, so I will need to IP addresses for them as well.

Ok, I put Server behind the router which are both behind the Uverse modem. My router now has an internal IP of 10.0.0.1 and my server is 10.0.0.4. The default gateway to the Uverse modem is 192.168.1.254. Now what does my Router need to be set to in order to make the server an active directory dns server? And what does the server need to be set to in order to resolve requests to it?

AWESOME!!!!! It worked very well!
The best solutions:
1. Right now the Uverse gateway is acting like a router. Put it in 'bridge' mode. This will turn it into a dumb modem.
2. Connect your router WAN port to the Uverse gateway. It should acquire a public IP address.
3. Connect your server and everything else to the LAN ports of your router.
