1. SBS does not work in a peer-to-peer,; you need to be setup with a domain
and Active Director,y which SBS does automatically, and nicely, if you
follow the wizards
2. Yes, you can setup a domain even if you have a dynamic IP address with
your ISP/Internet provider. Saying that, you are strongly encouraged to
spend the extra $20-30 and get a second NIC card. This 2nd NIC would be
connected to your Internet connection, while your first NIC would be
attached to the same hub or switch with your other computers
3. If you follow the SBS wizards, DHCP is automatically configured. However
it is very important that if you have a DSL/Cable router attached (between
your server and Internet connection), that you verify that DHCP is turned
off on that router.
