Hello!

Some questions to a reply:

"Your hardware firewall would get it's IP address from the ISP and most
firewall's will provide DHCP services (you may need to configure it).
If you use the same IP (private address) range in the firewall you
simply stop the DHCP services on your Windows 2000 server and you won't
need to touch your other computers.  I've done this a few times and this
is what I have set up at home.  You would want to configure a static IP
address for your server."

Would the router DHCP assign different addresses to the client
computers? Would the client computers work the same considering that the
DHCP server has "moved"? In the situation mentioned above: how would the
client computers access the server after you give the server a static IP
address?

I realize that these questions reflect a lack of understanding of the
basics of DHCP and addressing. I've read a fair amount about such but it
doesn't seem to sink in...

Thanks to all for the thought and effort you put into your answers!

Best, Will Stephenson
