Re: DNS

You think it would be easier to use the server to DHCP then the router? I
have the server running SBS2003 through a DSL modem through the Linksys
wireless router to three pcs with wireless network adapters on them. I can
logon the local network, I see the computer from the server.
Is there any sites that have steps to follow?

Thanks!!
