webserver

i have installed an ISO image of windows server 2008 r2 onto my VMware workstation, as a virtual server. I am trying to host my own web server for testing purposes.I have Internet service with sprint and i called them to obtain my public ip address. Now that i have my public ip address how to i assign it to my server?

I also have a web domain name that i would like to point it at that web server. Do i give it the public ip address or do i give it the name of the server?
