FQDN

[Guest]

How can I set-up 'FQDN' on my machine. I am using it for personal use, having
Windows XP with Service Pack2

Early reply to this would be highly appreciated!

To start you need XP Pro, IIS is included with XP Pro. Then you need to
register a domain name. Setup IIS, get your website setup then point your
DNS to your IP. Sounds simply but since you had to ask you would be better
of having an ISP host your site. Unless I misunderstood your question.

The pcbutts1 you replied to is a troll. Some idiot using my name and posting
bad info and stupid stuff. He is also using my email address and my valid
domain name I will track him and cancel his account. To avoid replying to
this trolls in the future check the message headers. As to your question you
don't need hijackthis. To install IIS go here for installation info

Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to
achieve. The others have assumed that you want to create a
web-site (for your own use). Is this correct?

Cheers,

Yes, that is correct. I would like to host the web site from my pc. I already
have register the domain name on register.com.

Please help me in configuring domain name which should direct to the web
folder/virtual directory on my pc. I have IIS up and running.

Don't take this wrong, it's suppose to be taken in a positive manner,
but if you don't already know how to do this, you're going to get
compromised very quickly.

If you can't understand IIS security and OS security, and you don't seem
to understand IIS, then have your website hosted by a company that does.

As someone else said you should realise the dangers of
putting a machine on the Internet before you do so. In
addition many ISPs only hand out temporary IP addresses to
customer unless they pay for one. This would make it very
difficult to host a site which is visible on the Internet.

If you don't want to make it visible on the Internet, that
is, you only want it visible from your network or your
machine, then you can add the Domain Name to your hosts file
(location c:\window\system32\drivers\etc or
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc) against 127.0.0.1. Add a new
line to it.

Many ISPs give subscribers a certain amount of space on
their servers. Some will even allow you to point you own
Domain Name to the space. Please consider this before you
put a possibly vulnerable machine onto the Internet. You
could create the pages on your machine and view them via
http://localhost on your machine, and then move them up to
your space on the ISPs server.
