Active Directory relies heavily on integrated DNS. Your server 2008 will install this automatically during dcpromo.
It is recomended to also have DHCP on the server, but not required. However whatever is giving out DHCP MUST give out the Server 2008's IP as the DNS server. This is important for clients to know where the domain is.
So you can either disable DHCP on netgear and install it on Server 2008, or modify the netgear so that DNS points at Server 2008.
DCPromo that bitch up, that process is fairly straight forward. Then join a client to the domain.

Make sure that laptop you have R2 installed on stays on all the time, too. Once you start handing over network services and FSMO roles, you wont want it to be off ever.
