i set up the domain
and the ip address
and the subnet mask

so
the computers will be
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.2
and so on

and the subnet mask will be automaticly configured

and the domain i set up on the main windows server 2003
is main.local

so all my computers are pluged into the hub/switch
and all my ip addresses are assigned

ive got 4 xp machines and one server 2003 machine
all i do is right click on my computer and click change name and add it to main.local

and my users that i set up in active directory on the windows server 2003 machine would work on the xp machines

Hope your still awake


Is that right
cheers

soz about all the threads ive made

seems right, but im far from an MCSE.
I can however email you some PDFs that may help if you PM me.

if you have internet connection, don't forget to configure your server with routing services so the computers can get internet access.

i havnt got internete but will the stuff i told you work?

yes it should.
