Presently we have a w2k server running as DC. DHCP is provided by a
one-piece router/switch/wireless-access-point. there are 5 clients: 4 win2k,
one winxp As such, my clients are set up to have primary DNS as IP of the
router, which is DHCP server and alternate DNS as IP of the DC. This works
ok on w2k clents, but poorly on WinXP as it can't reliably either get onto
domain or the internet. I want to set my DC to also be my DHCP server.
So presently topology is as follows:
DSL modem--->router/switch/WAP into which all the clients and the server are
daisy-chained and couple of laptops access wirelessly.
I guess, it's possible to fix my problem by running DHCP by my DC and have
it disabled on the router. Is it possible with present topology?
