Read the cable company's service agreement carefully. Some providers don't allow you to run a server, and will cancel your account if they find out that you are.

If your ISP has no problem there are a couple things you may be interested in:
Sambar (www.sambar.com) is much better than any blotware from microsoft. I use sambar version 4.1 and it's real small and effiecient. If you get it, or any web server software, check for security problems and fix them first to prevent bad things from happening

You may also be interested in 2y.net's free dynamic IP service. So even if you have a dynamic IP that changes or even if it's static you can just goto yourname.2y.net.
