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.

u already have the software insatlled in Win2000, and that is Internet Information Servies (also called IIS).

other things u need is a static IP address.

[OIDanTheManIO]

How do I obtain a static IP address?

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.

OK well I do have high speed, always on connection. And sorry but I refuse to pay. Now tell me how to set this up please.
