Does anybody know how to set up a DNS nameserver and webserver on my computer?

Ya you're lucky since you have no bandwidth limits, I sure wish I could do that.

First off doesn't your OS have some instructions on how to do stuff?

You may also want to join some webmaster related forums such as UK Webmaster World (I have others but there on my computer at home).

Are you also going to install software such as Apache, MYSQL and some type of user interface such as Ensim control panel?

yeah, no bandwidth limits, i uploaded over 90GB in filesharing this month, and a 10mbps connection for my computer(not shared) but i pay $9000 a year in dorm fees

the instructions are vague and because im behind my school network it makes it more difficult, they have there own stuff set up that i have to work around.

I dont need apache because i have IIS from microsoft and yeah i will set up mysql that i have done b4 and if i can get a free control panel i will add that.

I have no idea how to work around your school network at all. The best thing I can suggest is find a forum that uses your OS and ask around there.
