I downloaded the Internet Server posted by AJ Marknette, which I installed
and played with for awhile tonight.

Anyone have a "getting started" guide?

I created some newsgroups and posted a message, but I am most curious about
how to set up a HTTP server and configure the data files and local disk
structure.

It makes me want to get a fixed IP! I could save some money on my web/email
hosting.

Here's a link to Tim's orignal posting of the code with some
instructions on it's use. I was mostly using it for Pop3 testing  of
some of our software and added the nntp stuff as per Tim's request (I'd
rather him working on ElevateDB then doing internet server stuff anyway
).

Before deciding whether to invest in a fixed IP have a look at
http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/

It's a free DNS service that keeps a record of your varying IP address.  
Their database is instantly updatatable by client software running at your
end (either on your PC or in your router - Netgear routers have the client
built in).  Makes it easy to run a server on a varying IP.

I use GotDNS.org for this type of functionality for a couple of other
things, but I did not know there was a client for one built into a router.
That is cool. I might have to go shopping.

I have an server hooked up to a linksys router hooked up to a cable
modem.  The linksys router only updates dyndns when my ip changes which
is only when the cable modem restarts. It doesn't have an option to
force updates periodically.

I have their client software installed on the server also with it set up
force an update every 25 days. Still, every month or so I get an email
saying that my address hasn't been updated in 35 days and it will be
removed unless I manually update.

Mildly annoying. Since the service is free, I put up with it.

My "Billion ADSL Modem/Router" has this function built in.  It also has a nice set up interface through a browser.
