19456 Configure my win2000 server

My Requirement. I have a normal computer. I want to make this computer as Host. That it, a computer on internet which will have oracle 9i database server installed. I will have the static/unique IP address and its ports opened. I want to have information on what all i need to do to make my computer work as a server on internet which can be accessed by other limited no. of computers on internet. This is only for testing pupose. Once, this is successful, i would buy a branded server from dell and do the same thing. Can anybody help me out with step by step guide right from installation of windows2000 server. I just want a written guide. Thanks
