Hi,
I've only just joined here, and have only seen this message, not the
preceding ones in the thread. I'll try to help, but my apologies if I end
up stating the obvious, or misunderstand the context.

I think there is some place that identifies the router with my public
static ip.
This comment, together with the fact that you're using private IP
addresses (192.168.*.*) suggests to me that you have only one static IP
address. Is this correct? If I'm on the right wavelength here, this
means that, as you rightly identify, you can either have it pointing to
your router (as you have at the moment), or to your Linux box, and have
that do the routing. Again, as you say, the latter option means you'll
have to have it switched on all the time, or not be able to access the
internet through your other machine.
Again, if I'm getting the context right, you need to read up on how to set
up a webserver behind a firewall, as that's what your router is acting as.
Your router needs to redirect incoming requests on port 80 to your Linux
machine, and do NAT (network address address translation) on the outgoing
stuff; probably it's already doing the latter, but not the former, and for
that you'll need to set up the appropriate firewall rule in the router.
I'm no expert on this stuff,but I hope this may have been of some help.
Cheers,
Nikhil.
