IIS question
I'm running Win 2k Pro and the version of IIS that comes with it. I've gotten IIS to run locally just fine, but I'm wondering if there's any way that I can make it accessible via the internet. Is this possible, without a static line??

Yes, as long as you have a public IP address. You'll need to configure port forwarding on your router.
Also since your IP may change you'll need a service such as Dynamic DNS [edit]I am also assuming that you aren't on dialup... but then again, I've seen dumber questions [/edit]

You can run a webserver on a dialup connection if you wish, I've done it on W2K. IIS really doesn't care what kind of internet connection you have as long as it's up and passes http traffic on port 80.
Many ISP's block http, if yours does so you'll be out of luck unless you use an alternate http port. You will need to forward port 80 through any routers/firewalls so external traffic can reach your IIS server.
