I don't know about Dreamweaver (do people still use that?), but if you want to run ASP on your home computer you'll need XP Pro, and have IIS (Internet Information Server) installed.
To be honest, I wouldn't bother learning ASP. It's still used widely (I have a few projects still running it with any plans just yet to change it), but generally I would say that ASP is being replaced by ASP.Net (C# or VB coded), or by PHP.
You can download (for free) the Visual Web developer Express edition that you can code and run locally without the need for IIS.
For PHP, this can be down loaded for free also, though you'll need to install an Apache server on you PC (also free I think) unless you have IIS available.
Hope that helps
