CDONTS gone...now what?

since XP pro has stopped it's support for cdonts  (just to let u know, i bought xp pro because it supports(ed) cdonts.) what do i do now?  i can't setup my email thing in the forum. since i don;t have a static IP to use with my smtp server, i can;t use cdosys either. 

is there a way to get around these problems?
if there is, please let me know....i'm strugling here

thanx

Also if you want to run your own web server, go for a full server OS like Win2K server or Windows Server 2003 (MS will send a beta copy for free that will last 1 year).

With a full server OS you can have as many connections to your site as you wish, with XP pro and Win2k Pro you can only have 10 connections, and as every image is counted as a connection it means only one person will be able to view your site at a time.
