Color me frustrated...both of my desktops are set to use DHCP. I manually
changed my XP Pro box to use the IP of my Win2k3 server (192.168.0.100) for
its DNS. Voila!! All worked fine.

Now, all of my machines are connected to a Netgear MR814v2 Wireless Router
(192.168.0.1) that is acting as a DHCP server. How can I get that router
(in its role as a DHCP server) to give out the IP of my Win2k3 server
(192.168.0.100) as the DNS server for my clients? Becuz as of now, the
wireless router is giving out the IP Address of itself (192.168.0.1). It
would be ideal to have each client be totally set to use DHCP instead of
having to obtain its IP automatically and have to put in the DNS server
manually.
