Thanks... I'm sorry to be an uninformed newbie & keep asking questions, =
but would it be possible for you to explain to me how to do this, or =
what I should do exactly? I understand computers & the internet fairly =
well, but I'm pretty new to networking. I found a place in my router's =
configuration page to forward ports, etc., but I don't know what I'm =
doing once I get there. I also dont know how to assign an internal IP =
address, or what to do with it once that's been done.
Thanks again for the help,
Steve

Looks like you will need to port-forward port 80 in your router to =
your Windows hosting machine. Also, you will need to permanently assign =
an internal IP address to your hosting machine.

Subject: [Xitami] Running server through a router
I am trying to run the Xitami web server on my WIndows XP machine =
that is connected to the internet via a cable modem (RoadRunner/Motorola =
Surboard). The internet connection is split amongst 2 computers using a =
Linksys router. When I start the web server everything seems fine, but =
when I try to access the web page I have loaded on the server by =
connecting to my internet connection's (cable modem) IP address, I am =
directed to the router's configuration page. This also happens when the =
server is turned off, so it's not a big suprise. What is odd is that =
when I try to connect to the router's config page by entering the =
router's default IP address into IE, I am not taken to the config page =
as usual, but I'm instead directed to the web page I have installed on =
the Xitami web server. When the web server is turned off I go straight =
to the config page as expected. It seems like somehow the router's IP =
is bouncing me back from the router to the computer with the server =
installed, and the cable modem's (internet connection) IP is forwarding =
straight to the router and never reaching the computer with the server =
installed. I assume this is a relatively simple fix for any of you that =
are knowledgeable with networks, but I can't figure out what to do to =
fix this & make it work with my set up. I also cant run the server and =
a file sharing program like KazaA or WinMX. Is there a way to allow for =
these programs and the server to all run together harmoniously? Thanks =
in advance for any help, and I apologize if this question has already =
been beaten to death.
