I just purchased a Windows 2008 server and would like to use it as my domain controller.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I just had a new ATT DSL line put in. It came with a 2Wire modem\/4-port router\/wireless router device, therefore the modem can handle DHCP. The line has a static IP address as well so that I can eventually use my own exchange server and web server.<\/p>\n<p>I have tried 2 different configurations and couldn&#8217;t get either to work so I am looking for some advice.<\/p>\n<p>1) I tried to put the router into Bridged Mode and use DHCP server on my server using a PPPoe connection to connect to the Internet. I was confused as to what my static IP address and default gateway of my server should be.<\/p>\n<p>2) Then I tried to turn DHCP server off on the server and routing back on the modem\/router. This didn&#8217;t work either.<\/p>\n<p>What method would you recommend and why?<\/p>\n<p>Also I have some additional questions on each method.<br \/>\nMethod 1)<br \/>\n* What is the static IP address of the server. Is it in the 192.168.1.x address or the static IP assigned to my account?<br \/>\n* Do I need a second Nic Card And Router to connect to the rest of my network or can I use the router provide<br \/>\n* What would the Static IP addresses of the additional PC be. Do I need more than 1 static IP from AT&amp;T;<\/p>\n<p>Method 2)<br \/>\n* Will this allow me to use all internal IP addresses on my machines and use port forwarding if I want a specific box to be a web server or exchange server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":6},"question-category":[49],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-5469","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-networking"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/5469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=5469"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=5469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
