The SBS2011 has Launchpad and a preconfigured user administration with lots of goodies.
Yet, when going through the configuration steps on a virtual machine I set up for testing purposes (it is on a bridged network so it share IP conf with the rest of my computers) it tells me it needs to replace the router generated dhcp addressing with its own. Ok, I get that, but what does it imply in the real world?
My router (D-Link DIR-635) gives IP adresses to my network and sits as Gateway with 192.168.0.1. It is also configured to do some port forwarding and I have a few units with static IP adresses. like the NAS and the current WHS2011 server. Will I have to manage all that from SBS DHCP then? Does SBS have any interface for assigning static IP:s or is it done in AD/Clients?
I admit I never had to configure a network from a Windows Server yet. I work with it, yes, but I did not set it up from scratch.
Advice?

Leave the router doing it.
That's what I do for WHS 2011 and SBS 2011 on the same network.

So after messing with this I guess I could place some blame on the hardware, it is a GB conn, but the server it self runs on 20GB DDR2 memory and 2xQuadCore Opteron, (should be enough in my book).
I made the server take over dhcp, bad move, after messing around with user and computer accounts for three hours,and consequent repeated test logins on two machines, I deemed it slow. Half the times the logon service gave errors, dhcp was slow, conns were broken (my eldest daughter came in yelling about some exam work she was doing and GOD HELP ME, or her grades, if I did not stop mess around with net conns.
Now, i realize this is not something done in 15 minutes, but I do not think I did any mayor conf mistake, i followed them guides, updated the server and let MS tutorials and script handle most, if not all, of the configuration. The main issue was performance and timeouts. So scrapped. Back to WHS 2011. it has a simpler approach and the domainless user account management (Launchpad logon) is easier for my family to understand, without me having to spend hours explaining why i put a rockload of limitations on their comps.
