Well my idea was to give static IP's to each clients in a small network. I used the AD to create domain. Now that, As far as I know, it will be called as a workgroup if we don't use AD.

In linux machine I think workgroup=domain,unlike windows. Can it be possible to still use AD to control clients and have separate intenet connection to clients...

sorry if I can't make you all understand, since I am beginners and a student.
