Newbieeeee needs help !

Hi everyone who is kind enough to respond and others.

I am running Windows Xp multi media and downloaded the Apache server
2.xxx runing it as a service.
I have Verizon Fios with a router.
I have purchased a domain with domain.com and now I wouild like to be
able to host a web site.

The domain company is asking for a domain server name

wouild that be my computer name
or the work group name

I belive that I've set my router to accept outside traffic and set it
up in the routers firewall. And I did the same with Windows.

In apache configration

I've done the following
Listen 192.168.1.2:80 #my computer ip address on the local home
network

ServerName SONY123.home:80 #my computer name

Please help me out

Thanks in advance

I think they want to know where to point to for a
authoritive Domain Name Service (DNS) for your domain.
If you don't buy it from them, you have to arrange
something else yourself.
But that is not the topic of this newsgroup, you'd better
ask somewhere else (or read the domain.com documentation
at http://www.domain.com/domains/dnsmanage.php ).

None of them.

Listen 80 (without IP) will do fine.

You don't have to tamper with the Apache configuration if
you can reach your server from outside using your public
IP address 71.240.x.y or whatever it may be.

Good luck.
