Sure it is. It just can't act as a PPPoE client - Ciscos are not generally
used on consumer-type connections.

Configuring for AD? Well, that's a rather large topic. Short answer: run
dcpromo on it and run DNS, and have all clients--and the server
itself--point only at it for DNS, with forwarders set on the DNS server. All
clients should point at the LAN IP of your router (whatever one you use, and
is connected to your DSL modem, configured for PPPoE, whatnot) as default
gateway. You might also install DHCP on the server - generally better than
letting your router do DHCP.

I suggest you do some reading and play with spare hardware before deploying
AD, if you don't have any experience with it or Windows domains in general.
Also sub to microsoft.public.windows.server.active_directory and lurk in
there for a bit.
