linking off my server (images)

hi i am a complete to windows server 2003/iis

i have went thru the help section on iis and i dont understand it to be
honest.

i do not have a domain name i am currently using 1 ip of the 6 given to
me from the place i rent my server.

so what i want to accomplish is to be able to link images hosted on my
server to post them in various forums so they show up.

example of what i want to do is add this script and then link the image
to various forums
http://tinyurl.com/beezb

iis and a default page is running i guesss of the ip address that my
server is running. what is the easiest way to add/link link these
images?
but when i go to add a new website,it asks for a header and as stated i
havent a domain name can i still host/link images? which the simplest
way would be wonderful

thank you,hope i explained it well

Without a host/domain name, you use the IP. as in
http://{IP_Address}/image.jpg.

If you're using host headers, the the IP address is your host header.
Your hosting company may have a setup that forces you to use host
headers, but normally you wouldn't need one.

Hello!

You do not need any domain name to run a webserver. The easiest way for
you would be to create a folder named "images" (well, it isn't required)
in the webroot (by default C:\Windows\inetpub\wwwroot), and then place all
image files in that folder.

To show these images on the Internet, you would use:

http://123.123.123.123/images/file.jpg

Where 123.123.123.123 is the IP of your webserver.
