I want to setup a SOHO network for learning purposes. My goal is to learn
more about network structure and administration.

This is what I have:

1. High-speed cable
2. Wireless router
3. Windows 2003 server
4. 4 client laptops
5. Registered domain name = allfurpetgrooming.com

Here is what my plan is:

Use the server for AD, DNS, and DHCP.
Use the router for my gateway/firewall

When I setup the server I am going to follow these steps:

1. Load OS
2. Configure TCP/IP settings on server
a. ip address = 10.1.6.50
b. subnet = 255.255.0.0
c. dns address = 10.1.6.50
3. Run dcpromo
a. Full DNS name = office.allfurpetgrooming.com
b. Netbios = office
c. Choose to have wizard install DNS
d. Check and made sure forward lookup zone contained
office.allfurpetgrooming.com
e. Check and made sure 4 SRV record folders are there
4. Install DHCP
a. Scope 10.1.3.100 to 10.1.3.200
b. Subnet = 255.255.0.0
c. Parent DNS = office.allforpetgrooming.com



Questions:

1. Does my server and router use make sense?
2. If my registered domain name is allfurpetgrooming.com is it practical to
name my domain office.allfurpetgrooming.com?
3. My server will be the authoritative DNS server for my domain
(office.allfurpetgrooming.com) and I will use DNS forwarders to point to my
ISP DNS server for unresolved addresses?
4. What am I missing?
