Router DHCP or Server DHCP?

by kurei1218 . Updated 16 years, 10 months ago

Hi,

I have a question regarding my home network. To start off, my network structure is composed of a router, a desktop (W2k3), 2 laptops (XP), and a network printer..

For experimental reasons, I installed W2k3 on the desktop, configured active directory, dhcp & dns and retained the defaults. Then i configured my 2 laptops to join the domain.

All is perfectly fine except for the internet..concerning the IP’s of the PC’s, the desktop has a static IP with no default gateway and a dns server pointing to itself..Same with the laptops, the laptops lost internet connection when i joined the domain..By the way, all machines are connected to the router via ethernet not wireless.

I don’t know if I’m having problems about which dhcp is being used..is it the dhcp from the router or from the server?..

Please advise..
