Let me preface my question by saying I'm a novice in regards to server configuration. It's been 12+ years since I've attempted this.
What we (our small office) are trying to achieve is to setup a Win 2008 server (located in a home) in a home network configuration (basic wireless router w/DHCP) that we (the office) can VPN to from our office.
I have installed the software, installed DHCP, removed DHCP from the router, set the scope for 100 IPs and am now looking for information as to where I go from here?
I believe I need to configure DNS and possibly set up static routes on the router for the home devices that need internet?
The wireless clients are not receiving IPs is the current issue that I'd like to tackle.
Also, would it be feasible to use the router's DHCP to assign IPs rather than having the server do it? If so, what would be the most direct way to accomplish this?
I appreciate any help in this matter.
Thanks
