Setting up a domain

Ok, just got my new copy of Windows 2003 Server, Enterprise Edition (I know,
a little over kill for a home network, but I like my toys!) Anyway, here's
my setup. I really need a little help getting this whole thing to mesh
properly.

I've got a Dell Power Edge 650 1U rackmount that I've installed Windows 2003
Server on. I just received a D-Link DVG-1120M TA (telephon adapter) for their
CallVantage VOIP service. I've also got a Linksys WRT54G wireless router (4
port)
Ip address of the D-Links is: 192.168.15.1 Ip address of the Linksys is:
192.168.16.1 - both have DHCP enabled. If I disable DHCP on the Linksys, I
can't get out to the net (this is also the 4 port hub I have my desktop
plugged into.

Here is the wiring "overview" - how I've currently got it all thrown
together. The D-link is directly behind the cable modem. As it stands now,
according to AT&T, in order to guarantee voice quality, it needs to regulate
the internet connection. (there is a firmware upgrade this Sunday that will
allow me to put it behind a router - which I would like to do) Anyway, the
D-link is plugged in directly from the modem. The modems ethernet port goes
straight into the WAN port on the D-link. Then, the ethernet port from the
D-link get's plugged into the WAN port of the Linksys. I could not, for the
life of me use the same addressing scheme on the Linksys as that of the
D-link and then get out to the internet. Not sure why! If I changed the
address to it's (Linksys) current config, boom - I'm surfing away, but I
can't connect to the server.

So, my questions are:
1. How do I make the above mess work?
2. Do I want to have the server serving up the ip's via DHCP or should I
just leave that function to either the Linksys or the D-Link?
3. Do I need to have the domain controller also hosting the DNS stuff too?
4. What would you recommend doing to simplify this whole setup and still
give me a good secure environment?

HELP!

Much thanks!

Configure the D-Link to do NAT and DHCP and remove the Linksys from the
network.

If I remove the Linksys from the network, my laptops won't be receiving a
wireless signal to access the internet OR the internal network. Sorry,
probably should have mentioned those huh? Sorry!

Set it up like this:

modem>d-link>switch>computers and linksys

Configure the Linksys to function as a wireless access point. Disable DHCP
and connect the switch to a Linksys LAN port, not the WAN port. Crossover
cable may be required.
