My Own Public Website

I've a good broadband connection with Nildram, using a Netgear DM602
ADSL Modem, and I've got my own static IP address.

Do I have enough to set up my own public website on a Windows 2000
server?

I've set up a web site on the server, but when I try to access the IP
address from outside I just get a login request to the DM602.

Yes.

There are to things you need to do here:

1) Disable remote configuration on your router (it's a bad idea to leave
this open anyway)
2) Setup 'port forwarding' on the router. You will need to forward port 80
to the internal IP address of your web server.

It's also worth testing your web server installation internally by browing
to http://localhost/ on the Win2000 machine.
