Access Point and Router with Win2003

Hello to all,

A client has Win Server 2003 providing DHCP to clients. They have an ADSL
linksys router obviously with DHCP disabled. All clients are currently
wired.They now want a wireless access point to for new wireless clients.

Would it be best to configure the WAP with a static ip and give the default
gateway address on the WAP as the Win 2003 Server which provides DHCP?

Will the still server still provide DHCP to wireless clients this way?

Many kind regards,
Jeff

Many thanks for your response.

The only thing is, the wireless access point is a WPN802, which only has one
LAN port. It has to directly connect to a PC or laptop on its own to be
configured, it cannot be directly connected to the LAN ports of a router!!!

Jeff
