If you feel that you meet all of syn-tax's requirements check this out, http://www.no-ip.com . They allow you to assign a DNS address to yourself so that people wont have to use an ip to connect to you. For example: you could assign sparkicks.sytes.net to your computer. They give you the option of having a sub domain of a few registered domains. sytes.net is one, then there is dyndns.net, and a few others. Realize of course that this is all free. And if you have a dynamic ip address, no problem. They have an application that will login into your account, check your current ip, and update the dns record on their servers. The update takes a maximum of five minutes too.

Even comes with PHPMyAdmin configured lol... If needing one of the free dns places, go with http://www.dyndns.org/ they have some nice domain choices (like gizmo.is-a-geek.com forwarding to me through the setting in my router) lol...

sparkicks, you need to have an SMTP server and a POP3 or IMAP server setup setup on your machine. SMTP is Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (it might be Send Mail Transfer Protocol, i forget which), its how you send emails to other people. POP3 is Post Office Protocol version 3, its one way you can recieve emails, IMAP is internet message access protocol, its another way to recieve email. If its true that Macromedia Dreamweaver can create PHP scripts (never used it beofre), you still need to install PHP on your machine. Go to http://www.google.com and search for a free "POP3 server for windows" same with SMTP and find one to setup.

lol, ftp is a protocol, its not part of an ip address. A computer trying to connect to your ftp server first resolves your hostname to an ip address, and then establishes a connection. Also make sure you giving it your WAN ip address, insead of your LAN ip address. go to http://www.dslreports.com/whois and add that as an "A" DNS record.
