Mmm... not quite. While URL-to-IP resolution queries will be sent from the LAN workstations to the DNS server, the actual data packets to be transmitted (to the Internet) by the workstations will not pass to/through the DNS server. The DNS server simply responds to the workstations' resolution requests by passing the appropriate IP addresses back to the workstations; the workstations themselves are then responsible for establishing communication with their desired destination (which they do through the router, not through the DNS or DHCP server).

Hello,
I am interested in a carrer in networking, but I don't know much besides setting up the standard router/WPA-PSK. I thought the best way to dive into this field was to do just that, and dive in!

So I got onto a computer that had a clean copy of Windows 2003, and began to toy around with DHCP. Needless to say, I didn't get very far. I got it set up according to http://www.windowsnetworking.com/art...dows_2003.html
that tutorial.

Now im not sure what exactly to put for the values in that tutorial. Whenever it asked for DNS/Router, I put my routers IP address.

How would I set up another computer to use my servers DNS/DHCP instead of the routers?

Basically I want to recieve all the traffic from the computers in the house on my server, and then route it from my server, to the router. I only want the router to deal with my computer, not anyone else. All traffic should go through my server. (I assume this is how a regular server would act?)
