When I get back to work on Monday, I will try these suggestions and post back if I succeed or still have questions. ---- Tim gave some good advice and I was really pressed for time and wanted to reply because you weren't getting good answers. No - you don't need bind to run unless you want to provide DNS services. You really need to understand networking basics...i.e. TCP/IP. One you understand network address, broadcast address, subnet mask stuff, DHCP is pretty easy. If you don't understand that stuff, you really don't want to run a DHCP or BIND server and would be better off buying a router type of appliance that will do that for you.
