Hello Everyone
I’m a newbie within the IS/IT industry. I have eight computers that are ready for networking. On my console I will be using (window 2000 advance Server) (net working operating system) NOS. I have a net gear cable/DSL Web safe router model RP114 four ports and a net gear 5 port Fast Ethernet Switch FS105. At the console I started the DC promo to add the Active Directory and DNS. At a point within the add-on I got a prompt asking for my Domain Name. I don’t want to be compelled into a name at this point; however, my objectives are to:
1. Have 8 computers on my network, using 2000 advance Server as my NOS.
2. Be able to connect to the internet at each workstation.
3. Do I need to purchase a Domain name to add “Active Directory” and “DNS?
4. If not, what is the process?
5. Where should I add the net gear 5 port Fast Ethernet Switch FS105 device on the network?
And if this information is needed on the other computers/servers will have 98, 2000 pro and or XP as their operating systems.
