If you do want a DNS name you might want to check out
http://www.dyndns.org/ they'll give you yourname.dyndns.org or
yourname.dnsalias.com etc. It's a free service that accepts donations.

Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] DNS/WEB SERVER WITH APACHE/PHP/WIN98
You don't need the DNS Unless you want to pay for the www.abc.com.my
domain. All your remote offices need to do to connect to the server is
type in the IP of the server. The remote boxes will be directed into the
web root directory. Give it a try, you already have what you want. The
only plus to a domain name instead of an IP is remeberability. Since
your are setting up the remote boxes (I assume) all you need to do is
bookmark your server and teach the end users how to access the bookmark.
