[QUOTE="edokid, post: 794762, member: 259418"] Hey thank you so much that makes sense, I didn't realize that 15.0.0 wasn't a private domain I always thought it was, I have no problem using 10. That makes a lot more sense now, just a few more questions. I had used darwin.invution because I thought darwin.invution.com might have users try to connect to invution.com out on the internet and not my server, is that the case? I'd prefer .com to keep things consistent but not sure what's best to use. So as I understand it, I would set my router at 10.0.0.1 for example, with the leopard server 10.0.0.100 lets say, with the host darwin.invution or darwin.invution.com based on your feedback. Then on lets say a PC on my network, I could set it up as 10.0.0.10 with DNS server 10.0.0.100 and then if I tried using jabber or mail or whatever with server darwin.invution or darwin.invution.com because the dns server is my leopard server, it would know what darwin.invution means? How would that work for if a user wanted to go to say apple.com in Safari, if the clients dns server is 10.0.0.1 would leopard server then tell it what apple.com is? The issue with the above if correct is that when a user takes their laptop home, they have to change their settings since DHCP won't work if leopard server is another unit on my network. If I didn't want that, would I need 2 NIC's in the server and then connect the clients to a switch conencted to one of the NIC's so that leopard server provides DHCP? Thanks SO much! [/QUOTE]
