Windows 2003 Standard setup

Windows 2003 Standard setup, i am planning a domain/dns/webserver, all on the same computer. i have a 2000 with domain/web existing now, and another computer that is the dns.
1. server name example ns.testing.com
2. dns ip 216.216.216.216 Example.
3. URL www.testing.com
4. I have my netsol registration pointed to the firewall address and the forwarded to the ip of the server.

Question is, How would I name, configure this so that everything works great on one machine. so it can be the WebServer, Domain Controller, and Dns Server?
Thanks

not really too much to it.  You simply need to go into add/remove programs>windows components and select the IIS service and DNS service (DNS is found under networking).  To make it a domain controller go to start>run and type in DCPROMO

It really wasn't clear in your question if you are starting a new windows domain or not. When going through the DCPROMO wizard choose the appropriate option however.

Thanks Mike,
the confusion for me is this, I can do a dcpromo, add the IIS and Dns, but concerning the IP scheme of the network, The Dns also. Setting up a web server and dns is easy for me with differant computers. Just never done one that is on the same server. Acting as a Domain controller for Pc's, Acting as the webserver and Dnsserver. Like Foward and reverse lookups.
 Do I need two network cars? Wan and Lan? items like that. And yes New server New Domain! Thanks

 Yes this will be a www server, not an intranet. I have the windows 2000 domain/webserver already and a differant computer running the dns services for it. I know the security problems that I face with this setup. And wished I had another way.
So my server will be 192.168.168.10? lets say and the Wan side of the firerwall will point to the Ip address of the server?

iI do agree Laura, but that is not an option for this project, wished it was. I wished I had the money! Besides, the domain controller is only for usenames, no critical information is saved on that server, or even that portion of the network! Its more of a public access than anything.
But I do thank you for the input!
 
I'd opt for a split b/n mikeleebra and myself.
