Hi, all, and thanks for taking the time to read this post.
I'm trying to study for my MCSA exams, and got myself a copy of W2K Advanced Server that I'm running at home. Here's the entire scope of what I'm attempting, and where I'm running into the problem at.
Besides the server, there are 4 other computers in the house that I want to join the domain, and use the server for internet access.
The server should have DHCP running, and if possible, I'd like to have 2 computers per subnet, which would effectively split the floors of the house into their own subnets. I realize to do this, I need a router. I also realize that DHCP is non routable most of the time. So my questions are:
1) How many NICs do I need in the server to accomplish this?
2) Can I use the server as my router for the purposes of subnets, and if so, does the built in RRAS from microsoft allow forwarding of BOOTP packets?
3) How do I configure DHCP and DNS on my server, so that it will give out local IP addresses, and handle local name resolution, but will forward non-local name resolution outside the network?
