Well, for a start most forums require that you have access to some SQL database, which is not included with most normal homepage accounts...

Pick up a book on PHP and learn it... then download phpBB.

If you have SQL2K and IIS you can use the code I wrote for free. I don't mind.

But, it's all in ASP and uses SQL2K...so the investment may be a bit much.

I made a forum using PHP and MySQL once... it's kinda crap, though.
