Help!! I need a quick 101 on how to set up a website. I have reserved the domain name and the IP addresses are pointing to my web server. I just don't know how to configure the DNS(?) so that the server can see my domain name. Any information would be greatfully appreciated. THANKS.

You need two DNS servers now. The regestration of your domain at network solutions should have asked for the DNS servers in the first place. All you need to do (if your DNS servers are Linux) is go into linuxconf and add the host to the tables- supposedly. There are a lot more variables to this as well. Do you have a default gateway? Are you under somebody elses domain? If so, are their DNS servers pointing to you? It's a big mess.
