Dreamweaver does not ship with a web server, you have to install one, or activate one on your system (IIS or Apache for Widows and Apache for Mac are the common choices). When you define a site within Dreamweaver you can specify a testing server, as well as a remote server. If the testing server and/or remote server are available to your system without an internet connection, then you can certainly test pages through the web server such as through http://localhost/

If you are creating HTML pages, then there is no need for a server at all for creating and testing your pages, but if you are working with PHP or ColdFusion, then you will need a web server to work with.

If you have follow up questions, you should ask in the Dreamweaver General forum (general Dreamweaver usage questions), or the Application Development forum (questions about dynamically generated pages), depending on what you're looking to do:

Gotta love typos, thanks for catching that. Of course that should be Windows.

I have had a system set up that had PHP, MySQL, ColdFusion, ASP and ASPX (ASP.NET) all running through IIS on Windows XP, so that's definitely doable. If you have any issues installing or running any of those, please ask in the App Dev group:

With the prices of HDs these days, as well as the size of the drives that come with any recent system, does it really matter? At most, the above installed wouldn't be more than a few hundred MBs. I just checked on a system and PHP+ColdFusion+MySQL was around 200MB. No idea on ASP as it comes with IIS, and ASPX support is part of the ASP.NET framework that many Windows systems likely already have installed.
