HELP! Trying to use ASP on my local machine.

[j]

I'm not a networking/IT guy, but I was put in charge of figuring out
how to use ASP to tap into an Oracle db for my office. I am using a
windows 2000 laptop, and I want to be able to run ASP code on my local
desktop (without being plugged into a network).

I need a lot of help here. I know I have to turn my computer into a
webserver, but I'm not certain what I need to do with the IIS. What
do I need to do in general to make my computer a webserver? In
addition, I will be using a local Oracle database. So I wasn't sure
what I would need to do to make that db available for querying with
ASP. What is the best way to make that connection?

Anyone who can point me to useful documentation would be much
appreciated.

Thanks!
