NAT and static IP network

Hi:
I have a winNT network domain with different computers connectings to it. Some of these computers are server hosting web sites and some are just workstations. I right now have static IP's for all the machines. The workstations all are eithe windows 2000 or windows XP and the servers are running win2k server or winnnt server. There are a couple of MAC's running OS 9 and 10 connecting to the domain. All are on static IP's. I want to change it so that only the servers running sites use static IP's and the rest use NAT. Can I do that. Is there any web site or book that explains how to do it. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

You will want to use DHCP to assign IP addresses to clients automatically. More info on DHCP is readily available on microsoft's web site.
NOTE: You will want to use static IP's for all servers...regardless of their purpose. If you start assigning IP addresses to the servers via DHCP then your clients will have a hard time finding and accessing resources.
