You've already got the domain, and the web host (your server), but you are going to need a DNS host. At my work, I set it up with Earthlink for $4.95/month. We also have email addresses linked to it, like mymail@mydomain.com, which forwards to an actual email box, like mymailbox@earthlink.net. They gave me 3 addresses that I typed in at the registar's site (like hearsay.earthlink.net). The DNS service translates the domain name into your server's IP address...

You could also try what flipped cracker said:
cant i set up my own DNS host on either my windows box or linux box? or is it better to use like the mydomain.com dns
