I just did a clean install of my Windows 2012 Server that I would like to setup as a domain running DNS &amp;&nbsp;DHCP. 
 
My modem for Comcast is set to Bridge mode. 
 
My Sonic wall TZ 215 (192.168.1.1) firewall has DHCP disable 
 
Currently I have put a static IP on the server as the following. 
 
192.168.1.2 &nbsp;Server 
255.255.255.0 
192.168.1.1 Gatway 
 
192.168.1.1 DNS 1 
75.75.75.75 DNS 2 
 
I get confused with setting up DNS on a server. Before I start configuring the domain and setting up &nbsp;DNS should I change my server's static IP to something like this. 
 
192.168.1.1 
255.255.255.0 
192.168.1.2 GATEWAY 
 
127.0.0.1 DNS1 
 
Do I need to put forwards for my ISP DNS? 
 
I'm willing to pay someone $50 for thirty minutes of their time if they can remote in and configure this role. I don't need help with anything else but for this.
