I will second my agreement that trying to run a web server on a cable modem is a bad idea. In addition to all the other stuff mentioned, you would have to use Linux. Windows 2000 is not going to run on a P233 w/32MB or RAM. Plus it would fill the whole hard drive. I use HostMatters. Their basic plan starts at $6.95. If you really want a web server at home, you will need to have a T1 line brought in. Way too expensive with all the hosting choices out there.
