The first thing you should do if you are going to be running this locally is make sure to patch and update your computer, or you have a very good chance you will be virused up the wazoo within a few hours of getting it online.

Sounds like you want to do this from a windows workstation, then you will need IIS - they come with any Windows 200X Server OS like 2000 or 2003.

I think you might be able to install IIS onto a XP server as well but I've never done that personally.

So your best bet install Windows 2003 Server which comes with IIS by default.

Honestly I'd go with a Linux box and Apache

All server since Windows NT4 server came with IIS.
On Desktop OS's Windows 2000, Windows XP also have a version of IIS, but its limited to 10 connections at the same time.

no need for a domain, nothing public.

How do I set it up for it to be able to do that?
Do I need IIS? SQL? a windows CD?

thanks!

If you use the deafult setup, its a wide open server, and its pretty sure it will be compromiced in less than a day. Make sure read up on MS security or have someone who know about it, set it up for you.

PS. Hope you choke on your spam
