Can any one help, I am wanting to setup wildcard DNS on NT2000 using IIS5 with MSDNS and I am stuck as to how to set this up.

You should not need to do anything to IIS unless you are running multiple sites on the same IP.

1) Open up the Microsoft Console and select the DNS snap-in or click the link from the start menu to the DNS Manager.
2) Select the domain/zone you want to edit.
3) Then click select the DNS menu and then select Add Record and select A record. Put * in the hostname and the IP address of the website in the IP address bit and click okay. (note: do not try to take a shortcut by selecting add hostname, for some reason it doesn't like this).
