How to configure a Linksys Router to a DHCP/DNS Win2K8 Server

The following configuration is my network and an IP configuration:

Internet IP address from ISP ? DSL Router (Modem)
IP address: 71.xxx.xxx.xxx
Subnet Mask: 255.xxx.xxx.xxx.0
Default Gateway: 71.xxx.xxx.x
DNS1: 68.xxx.xx.xx
DNS2: 68.xxx.xx.xx
It was configured as a bridge

This configuration uses for my Router:

Linksys Router
Internal Setup
Internet Connection type: Static IP
IP address: 71.xxx.xxx.xxx
Subnet Mask: 255.xxx.xxx.xxx.0
Default Gateway: 71.xxx.xxx.x

DNS2: 68.xxx.xx.xx

Network Setup

Router Address:
IP address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS1: 68.xxx.xx.xx

I am trying to configure a win2k8 server in my office.
I’d like to set up my linksys router, and my win2k8 AD/DNS/DHCP server.

When I am installing and Configuring AD DS and DNS

The system tell me … Important
Before you install AD DS and DNS on the first domain controller server in a new domain,
ensure that the IP address of the server is static;
that is, that it is not assigned by Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
DNS servers and Active Directory domain controllers must have static addresses
to ensure that clients can locate the servers reliably.

!!!!! Win2k8 tell me that I am using dynamic IP

Please, someone could help me?
