How to setup a network

[muraarireddy]

Hello,Hello,
recently i have been started one cyber cafe
with 8 computers and my net connection is Bsnl FTTH fibre optics line ok.
my network is assigned by dhcp from bsnl that means dynamic ips.
my net connection is like this
internet-->Modem-->Hub(8 ports)-->8 computers.
i want to make one pc as server
and controlling other all pc's
i know little about windows 2003 server
in dynamic ips can i make this or not
or how to use static ip for my network
please tell me about this

First, define what you mean by "make one pc as server and controlling other all pc's."

Second, even though your ISP may allow you to just use a hub, I would suggest using a router to enable some protection. That will also give you the choice of using static IPs if you wish.
