The firewall is the DHCP. It is a Sonicwall Pro 230.

I use the ISP's DNS (Time Warner).

It seems that the firewall DHCP sets all the machine to use the ISP's DNS.

You suggest me to set up DHCP on the SBS? How will my computers know to use
it as DHCP and not the firewall, besides a manual setting of all the
machines?
