    you can't use a dial up connection to run a server because of the floating IP problem, you need a connection with a fixed IP or to rent a server with a fixed IP from one of the ISP companies

    There are a few free services out there that can be used as a static IP even if yours is not. I think one of them is from DNS@Go. Check em out at www.dns2go.com. As long as this service is running, anyone looking for your site, ie www.smashingsworld.dns2go.com will be redirected to your current IP. It's worth a look.

    Get these: Mozilla Opera OpenBSD
    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    There are also some routers that support dynamic DNS. See the following link for an example.
