If you want to run a server from home there are services that give you a subdomain to point to your IP that automatically updates to your dynamic IP, see more here http://www.no-ip.com

I think it basically runs something in your windows tray that sends a message everytimr your IP changes to no-ip and they update the subdomain forwarding to the new IP.

If you have a paid hosting account then you may have CPanel for your account management, this has cron cababilities built in.

yes, it's called "task manager"
No its not, "task manager" show you which tasks are running.

The built in scheduler is 'AT' and is available via the command line, type 'help AT' at the command line to see the options, not the most user friendly scheduler but does the job. There are lots of scheduler applications out there, some free some not, do a search on Google.
