Should a dhcp server a dns server and a gateway all have the same IP address?

It's up to you. People usually have different ip addresses for gateways and DNS/DHCP servers. It's because a separate server is used for gateway.

What information can dhcp provide to clients?
Default gateway, dynamic IP address, DNS server address.
What service distributes IP addresses automatically?
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). A network node can request an IP address from a DHCP server using a broadcast frame. The DHCP server may assign an IP address to the node as well as a subnet mask and default gateway.
Why do you setup default gateway server address?
First, you have to know what the default gateway address for your LAN segment is. This might mean talking to your network administrator. Usually this address is set automatically by the DHCP protocol, so you don't need to do anything. If you are using a set of static addresses, then you can specify the default gateway address in one of the Windows network dialog boxes. For Unix/Linux, the 'ifconfig' command allows you to set the default gateway address. For server 2008 (including Server 2008 Core) use the netsh command to set the default gateway address (if not using DHCP).
Is DHCP the same thing as NAT?
No. DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) is a method of providing clients network information from a router or DHCP server. It can tell a host what their IP address is, what the gateway is, what the DNS servers are, WINS servers, etc. NAT (Network Address Translation) is the technology used by a gateway that allows a private ip address to access information on the public internet. For example, You have a router (10.0.0.1) that acts as a DHCP server and DNS server. Something connects to your network and broadcasts a DHCP request, and is then given an ip address (10.0.0.5 for example) and told where to go to resolve domain names. That client wants to connect to google, it makes the request first to the name server through the gateway, and then information is sent back to the gateway. NAT Allows the gateway to get the information to the correct computer behind it even though it is not directly accessable. (Google can not directly access 10.0.0.5 and vice versa)
What is the gateway to 192.168.1.254?
If the host is on the 192.168.1.0 network, than the default gateway will often be 192.168.1.1. However, there are no rules which dictate the IP address of the gateway within a given network; the clients know of the gateway's address either by static assignment or through the DHCP server's records.
What step should you take to ensure that dhcp assigns the same address to the print devices?
You should tell the DHCP server to always assign a specific address to a specific MAC address or hostname. This is usually done through the server's configuration file. See your server's documentation for details.
What is the IP address of the DHCP server?
DHCP server must be assigned a static IP address...On a Windows computer you can find out the IP address of the DHCP server that assigned your current IP address by opening a command prompt and typing "ipconfig /all".
What is the difference between RARP and DHCP protocols?
RARP help the PC to find its MAC address in the same network from the RARP Server.RARP Serveronly providethe IP adress to the PC by remembering its MAC.DHCP works on the same way but DHCP Server provide the PC its IP address, Subnetmask, Default Gateway and DNS Server etc...So the big difference is DHCP provide more information than your RARP Server.
What does acquiring network address means?
The device is looking for a DHCP server to obtain a DHCP address.
In the Absence of dhcp server which ip client will receive?
A DHCP server will privide a client with a valid IP address for the network for which the DHCP server is providing a service.Where there is no DHCP server the IP address for a client must be set manually. When doing this care must be taken to ensure that two IP addresses are not set the same on the network.
What is DHCP nack?
dhcpnack is message from dhcp server when dhcp server is not having any ip left in address pool or client fails to respond to offer in given time
Is 169.254.10.1 a good address?
It means you're not pulling an address from the DHCP server
