I have purchased a name. I have a server I'd like to host this name. How do I correlate my name to my IP address? I run Win2k Server and understand the IIS and my router ports. Basically, I want to host my own site but don't know the relationship between my IP address and my name.

You need to learn DNS. Go to http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html.
While it is Linux related, it contains a very good DNS introduction.
