hi all

I currently have a LAN that uses the servers POTS modem and the servers ICS for internet.

Win2K server, stations are winXP pro

We are getting wireless hispeed and a gateway/router.

The server has a database running on it.

How do I continue to use the server to issue IP's ( for database connectivity ) but not provide ICS, since the router/gateway will be the new internet connection.

Do I simply disable DHCP on the router and assign it an IP?
How do I prevent the server from handing out the IP that I
gave the router?

Am I getting wild about something simple?

Thanks for reading, all help appreciated.
