Hi Timothy, >> How do you get an IP address, do need to register one somewhere? >> After I've got it do I have to add it to some isp's routing tables or >> what? You can't `register` an IP address as such from somewhere, and transfer it to where ever you feel like. Your ISP generally gets allocated an IP range, and then allocates IPs to their clients. Thus, you will need to get your ISP to allocate you an IP address. This is generally just done for leased line customers, or if you require a static IP for things like ETRN mail with MS Exchange. (They charge you obviously more for that dial account as well). > I want to set an old 486 up as a web server somewhere connected to > the internet permanently, like a my ISP or somewhere similar.

The best co-location hosting prices that I've come across are that of StormNet (www.storm.co.za) for R700 a month, with a 1GB transfer limit - after that they start charging you per additional MB transferred. (That's the cheapest rate that I've come across.) If you would host it there, you would get a static IP address assigned to your machine. Perhaps see if you can't get the machine hosted at your office, or at a friends office or such if you're not going to do any money generating things on that machine.
