Apache IP address question???

[TechGuy]

I am running Apache on a box that is behind my external connection. (i.e. 192.168.0.1 is the router, 24.216.25.9 is the lan card to the cable modem in the router, This ip is 192.168.0.2). So apache is running on 192.168.0.2 So....how am I going to see the web site from outside my lan? Or can I not do this?

Can you forward ports from your router? If so, give it a try.

The router is a Windows 2000 Pro box. How do I forward ports?

By using a different operating system for your router...

right click on My Network Places.
select the adapter that you have Inet sharing enabled (NOT your lan adapter).

on the properties page, click on the sharing tab, then click settings.

On the settings page, click on services tab, click on Add.

Emter
www service
80
tcp
ip of LAN machine (192.168.0.x)
and click ok until your out of the properties pages and your set.

I don't think this will work with my present configuration because I have a one way cable modem. The connection that's actually shared is the dial out connection through the phone.

is it just me or would u need both of those 'ways' for a web serving anyways?
