Home Router changes Internet DNS settings and points to new 2008 R2 Server

Background:

I have a Linksys router for my home network (which does DNS and DHCP), I recently installed a Windows Server 2008 R2 server with HyperV and Active Directory Roles (which I plan on using as a Lab environment with SQL and SharePoint as virtual machines)

Problem:

All the other computers in the house (notebooks, xboxs etc) lose internet connectivity, but still have network connectivity (can see other computers, printers etc.).  When I check on the Linksys router, in the setup tab there's a section for "Internet DNS" and there are 3 entries - all pointing to the IP addresses of the new R2 server and the 2 VMs. 

Question:

Why is my router automatically picking up the R2 servers and thinking they should be used for internet DNS?  Is there a role or feature in R2 that I need to disable? Thanks
