I am hosting my website. In loading the website however I have to
enter the www in the beginning. Without it it gives "under
construction" message. When I do ipconfig, for the webserver it
returns the DNS address. How do I take this requirement away? I have a
Windows 2k3 DNS server.

If you have an AD Domain this is a limitation of the DCs habit of
registering
the "base name" without the www. It only affects internal users.

If you are having trouble with external users doing this, or don't have an
internal domain, then you just add a new A record with a "blank" or
"same as parent" name.
