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.

Nice! Much appreciated. My only issue/worry is that I really want this server/client to be by themselves, and not affecting the rest of the computers on my network. Kind of like my own experimental server/client bubble.
If I enable DHCP on the server and hand it off from the router, won't that affect (shut off) my network if say the server is turned off or what have you?
