Question Solved: How do I become a Domain Controller?
I Have a Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista Home Basic and a Windows 7 (Based on Vista). I just got a Belkin router but i installed and set it up on my Windows 7 PC. Is there any way to make my Server 2003 become the new Domain Controller. I need it to install Ranger for networks.

You do realize that you can't add a Vista Home Basic computer to a Windows 2003 domain!
Lots of great articles out there about setting up Windows 2003.

In Vista, only Vista Ultimate and Vista Business have the ability to join a domain.
