LAN Dhcp server stand alone

[Midnight-blaze]

I made a mistake with my original post as I was unclear and confused as to what I needed. So here goes: as part of my RPT I need to demonstrate my understanding of servers to my teacher. I've built a server road case and inside is a 64 bit capable machine, a switch, and wireless access point. The idea is to plug the case in, turn on the computer, and plug in pc's to the switch so users can play LAN games and have fun on a LAN network the access point is to make the system wireless, that's not mandatory so I can take care of that. THERE WILL BE NO ROUTER I've tried dhcpsrv 2.4.4 with limited and unacceptable success. What I need is an os or software program that will allow me to connect the server to a switch and create a LAN network. So I need a DHCP, DNS ip hander outer... Thing. I don't understand what a post fence is nor am I to familiar with the fine settings, I know it may be asking a lot but is this possible to do with ubuntu? Any advice is appreciated.

D3sl91 thank you very much I think I'm going to use a router as it requires the skills I need to demonstrate. Ill just use the acess point in a portable build i guess.

Instead of using an Access point, get a router. A router doesnt need to be connected to the internet, but you can kill two birds with 1 device. 

 

Thoughts?
