Office Move Now SBS Chaos

After losing a warehouse lease unexpectedly, a company I worked for
relocated the server & domain member computers to the CEO's house (for now).
It was done without professional IT help. I'm trying to pick up the pieces
and it ain't pretty.
Problem 1: the server was connected to a home network into the wrong NIC
Problem 2: the home network router was handing out IP addresses too
Problem 3: someone changed the router port forward settings (not for RWW)
for an unknown reason.
Problem 4: someone took a domain member computer out of the domain
etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
I've managed to get several pieces back on line:
The home network seems fine. (a router at a different static ip off the main
router)
The Packet8 VOIP solution seems fine (static ip off the main router)
The issue (seems) to be a completely hosed DNS setup.
I think I need a step-by-step to rebuild the DNS:
1. there is a reverse lookup zone that still is named after the subnet of
the router when it was in charge.
2. the domain members can't talk to the server (ping, password changes,
etc.) at dns name or an ip address
3. the server can ping them at an ip address
4. RWW is offline...and was moved to dyndns (hasn't worked yet)
CAN SOMEONE POINT ME TO A WHITEPAPER/INSTRUCTION SET TO HELP ME GET MY
NETWORK BACK ONLINE?
Thanks so much,
John b
