How to remove computer server and replace with regular router?

I was wondering if anybody know how to remove server and replace it with regular router. I tried to pull out old server, and replace it with router, but the internet is suddenly dead. I checked the server, and apparently it was set into a static IP. How can I remove the server without taking down the internet? How can I make the router generate its own IP address? The sequence should be Internet%26gt;modem%26gt;server%26gt;router%26gt;switch%26gt;clie鈥?Thank you.How to remove computer server and replace with regular router?
The sequence you wish to use is odd to say the least and of no real value.



The server provides DNS and DHCP to the LAN. Puttiing a router behind the server forces the LAN onto a different subnet for no reason. It makes something that is fairly easy unnecessarily complicated.



If you wish to proceed, you will have to teach the router the proper routing table for your subnets and make sure the router subnet differs from server subnet and then activate DHCP on router and have all LAN devices use router for DHCP and DNS. WAN side of router defers these tasks to server.



If you want to make the server a web server and protect the LAN devices, I recommend a router with a DMZ port.
