hi,
ive 2mb broadband connection and i want to host a few pages made in ASP.
My OS is windows 2000 server.Webserver is IIS.
Dont want to register a domain just want to do it through IP.
Ive also purchased a static IP from my Internet service provider.
Is it possible ? if it is can anyone give me link to any good tutorial by which it can be done ?

Thanks,

kamran

Here you go:

However, be advised of 2 things:
1) 99% of ISPs (at least in the US) have provisions in their AUP not allowing hosting from home on a residential connection.

2) You will have to get your router to forward requests to the local IP of the server that you are using to host the pages.
You can read about that here (very BASIC tutorial). Consult your routers documentation for specifics:

You already have some kind of device that connects your computers to the internet.... wether it's a router or a modem with a built-in switch (DSL or CABLE it doesn't matter). You don't connect them directly to the cable coming from your ISP right?

A router is the easiest (and cheapest) way to do it. That said, a lot of "modems" supplied by ISP's have built in routers that can be configured without purchasing extra hardware.

I hope that helps.

yes ive a cable switch/modem what ever you may call it.
alright i got it.
many thanks mate.
