Since we don't know anything really about his setup, he could have
chosen to assign IP's and DNS instead of using a DHCP server; i.e., a
router. There's no way to know what the OP's end goal is or exactly how
his office is set up, so I just included the switch in case. Naturally,
if this is a simple setup without any real servers a router will be the
way to go.

Hope that makes my thinking clearer to you.
