Hi,
Firstly, you'll find you can't use it as a web server with
dynamic addressing. Nor can you register in the DNS with a
dynamic address. You will have to start first by applying for
a permanent C class address, or asking your ISP to be assigned
a permanent number from their list, which I doubt they will
do. Once you have solved that, the rest follows.
