Hi I already have iis5.1 from the xp pro installation cd, I have a linksystem router for 2 lan computer's and a wireless broadcast but Don't much use the wireless ones, I plan to host my own website with my own Domain like www.mysite.com somthing in that order, and I also want to host gamestudio multiplayer games on my server. I have been looking on google for tutoials on setting up the iis5.1 in the way I wanted it but never work's I bid on ebay for a windows loghorn server software to install on my computer they claim I can use it on my computer or on server hardware. But so Far I got iis5.1 that's provided with xp pro intallation cd, and followed their instructions and many other ones from searches on google.
I want to let people from the internet allowed to access my webpage files and any of the multiplayer online game file's, my router's firewall give me an option to let full access to my computer or have read only access and they explain what they mean by those the read only mean's to only access file to be read and the full access means that they can control or make changes in your computer, which they don't advise to do that.
I don't have a full concept on how the internet work's like I know port 80 support's http commands or request's but I don't have a full Idea on how a server can get on the internet with their own domain. I just know some stuff about it but not much.

But as for right now I need help on getting my website onto the internet using my own server software the iis5.1, and making my own Domain name without using a hosting service.

Thanks for your time.
