Default Hosting For Free?

OK, so I've heard of this thing called a DNS server and supposedly it uses your HDD on your normal OS to run your own personal server that other users can access through a forwarding domain or subdomain. Please give me ALL the details on this including where I can download the software from, how it works, and where to get a free subdomain that will be forwarded to this DNS server WHILE still running Windows 2000 Pro. simultaneously. Thanks.

You need a high-speed internet connection I believe. Dial-up changes everytime you login I believe. Your best bet would probaly be to just bite the bullet and pay the $5 a month for good, quality hosting.
