Your topics need to be more focused. There is a difference between setting up a typical home network these days and simulating an enterprise network. You can start learning about DNS here (see:
http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/19a63021-cc53-4ded-a7a3-abaf82e7fb7c1033.mspx?mfr=true), then step through installing and configuring it on Windows Server 2003 here (see:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814591).
Simulating things in a lab can be a learning experience, as well as fun. It is how I got my start before I got my first set of keys to the production castle, starting out in the industry. There are lots of resources out there and a good source of information on the Microsoft platform is TechNet; also Microsoft Learning (see:
http://learning.microsoft.com).
You might consider using Microsoft Virtual PC and Virtual Server to support your lab based learning, which can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/virtualpc/default.mspx and
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/virtualserver/ respectively.
Windows XP, Home networks, DNS
I have a quick question where can I go to read up on how to build a home network? I mean I have the infrastructure in place I want to try my hand at using DNS and all that other stuff.
