Wanting to have internet access go through server 2003 DC

I recently setup a Server 2003 DC so taht all internet computers will have to authenticate.
I know that I can plug the back bone line form DSL into the server however how can I run my wireless network and force authentication via wireless access? How would I configure the router?

Option #1 DSL>router/firewall>DC>switch

Option #2 DSL>DC>router/firewall>switch or direct to computers off extra ports.
This option leaves my DC suceptible to being attacked, correct?

Not really sure about the question.... are you running the DSL direct into the server, or thru some kind of firewall device first? Does your DC have 2 or more NICS?

When you say you want wireless authent, do you mean before obtaining an IP, or being able to grab an IP , but unable to do anything without authent'ng to the DC?

I could do up a real quick layout, if that helps....

Right now I have the dsl going into a router then the router plugs into the DC.
I have an extra nic I could plug into the DC as well.

For the wireless I would like for my wife to be able to login to the doamin before she can get internet access, this will also allow her to save data on a shared drive on a network server. Right now the wireless router assigns an ip via dhcp but I would liek for the DC to run dhcp I was goign to setupa small scoep for this.

A layout would be helpful, thank you!
