AD and DHCP

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I am relatively new to AD and Networking in general and I have a question
regarding AD and DHCP.

I am in the process of setting AD with Windows 2003 in our small office (2
servers; 3 workstations). So far we used a peer-to-peer network where each
computer was part of the same workgroup. Each computer has Windows 2000
server or Pro. The plan is to upgrade all servers to 2003 once we know how to
set up AD.

We have one static IP address and connect to the Internet via DSL router.
The DSL router is connected to a Netgear firewall which, if I understand
correctly, serves as the DHCP server.

The question now is how do I setup AD and DHCP? Do I have to install and
configure the DHCP server on the Windows 2003 machine or can I just leave it
as is and let the firewall handle the assignment of the non-routable IP
addresses?
