Hi, the DHCP seems to be working fine, it asiignes the corect ip address and
sets the dns to the sbs server.

I dont have a rooter, the default gatewat is the sbs servers ip address. so
i am pointing the dns and gateway to the same ip as they are both the sbs
server. I dont have a rooter as we are only using dial up for the moment.

As far as i can see i have it setup correctly, in so far as what you are
saying about the gateway, dhcp and dns. Assuming that the gateway and dns
are able to be the same.
