AnotherQ: what about hostnames in win98

I got to know of an idea, how to make my public, Class A STATICALLY ASSIGNED ip address be assigned to hostname using my win2k.

ex. pc01.mydomain.myisp.com or myfavoritecomp.mydomain.myisp.com or webserver2.mydomain.myisp.com

and how do i change it when i like to change it? where in win2k is that!?!

coz now in my win2k advance server, what i have configured is the MYDOMAIN.MYISP.com which my ISP told me is configured in by default as i am directly connected to them via modem (yeah modem...) ,(i can verify that coz i got my webserver running for half a year now), and the ISP sys admin told me that i should install DNS in my win2k server to have what i need. but the guides and white papers that i have gone havent had details regarding this. or maybe what is in the book are just too complicated than my set-up. my set-up is particularly specific i guess. and take note too, i dont have control with my ISP and they're using SunOS and other Linux distro combos, no win2k they said. how do i make this possible.

help.

thanks
