OT: How can I run a server on my own computer

[juliemac57@hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

Well for a server to run, it needs to be on.
And for some one from the internet to access the web sites,, yes, you need 
to keep it connected. Since you have DSL thats no problem.
There are several OS's that you can run. Linux and win 2k.
I run both.
Win 2k will allow ASP to run, witch allows easy to maintain Photo galleries.
You will need to get a static IP address and not dynamic. Dynamic IPs change 
on occassion and then the web server will not register on the net work.
For an example vist one of my sites that is database enabled (built from 
data with in a database).
http://www.montgomeryweb.org

The photo gallery on there is on I wrote. Its fast and easy I am building a 
automatic thumbnailer at the moment.
