I have 5 DELLs, one of them is a server ( windows server 2003). I just bought linksys wireless router (N) and some adaptors. what's better, hookup the modem to the server or to one of the workstations.
If it is better on the server, how the installion is diffrent from a workstation, ( like disable the dhcp server)

Thanks

I would hook it up modem>firewall>server>router>workstations

I added a firewall there because I personally wouldn't want to leave my server connected directly without some kind of security between me and the outside world.

I haven't got to the part about disabling the DHCP server in my studies, but I would be willing to bet you can get that kind of help from microsoft.com

Use the wireless N router more like an access point and hook the modem to the server machine... and take the router's DHCP server offline, then use the Server 2k3 for the DHCP router (also because it has a DNS resolver which makes internet access faster).

@Yousaif: Its disabled in Server 2003 quite easily (just stop the service or turn it off in the via the Administrative Tools folder) but the one in Server 2003 is better than the one on the router is going to be, more customizable.
