We are setting up a network that currently uses WindowsNT Server (yes,
you read that correctly). We are going to use Windows 2008 R2
Standard. This network only has 6 clients. Should we use the router as
the DHCP server or should we use the Server for both DNS and DHCP?

The clients are XP Pro and WIndows7

Thanks

Use Windows for DHCP and DNS.

I thought if the Server is a Domain Controller with Active Directory &
DNS, it is best to use the router for DHCP?

Consider SBS 2008 instead of Windows server if it's for a small shop,
they get Exchange, File/AD, internal Company website for document
management, etc...

The DNS and DHCP should be provide by the server if you're joining
computers to the server as part of a domain.

NEVER, the DHCP, if properly configured on the server, will provide data
that your router won't provide to the workstations.

Since you're doing a domain, it's not too late to consider SBS 2008
instead of Server 2008 standard.
