Windows can do it..
I had a broadband failure a while back.. and the only spare modem I had
was on a windows laptop.
I setup the backup dialup connection on the laptop, and set it to port
forward the required ports to the internal machines and connected.
It worked fine. so I know that windows 2000/XP can do it.
(I'm actually not sure that XP SP2 can do it though, most of the details
screens seem to have disappeared.)

I'm not absolutely shure about windows doing port forwarding, because
i did investigated for another application and didn't found a native
solution. But i had success with Cygwin and the ssh.
Basicly wath i did was to use ssh over the windows box with the Cygwin
version, then ssh has the ability to do port forward and also encrypt
the comunication betwen boxes.

Yo. I'm done some experimenting with web hosting, but I'm really quite
new at it. I have a little home network with a single static IP. The
internet server (Windows 2000 Server... I'd prefer a Mandrake box, but
anyway) is the only computer with the static IP. I also have an ol'
Mandrake 9.1 box attatched. My experience is really close to null; what
I'd like to know is this: is it possible, basically, to host a website
on the Mandrake box and have it easily acessable to the web? I know
that the Win2k box is up to it, IIS's http ftp servers work without
flaw, but is there any way that I can route a domain to the Mandrake box
that doesn't have an Internat IP? sure, it's got a local IP, but that
doesn't do much good.
Thanx,

Yes you can, all you need to do is port forward port 80 on the windows
box to port 80 on the internal IP of the mandrake box.
I haven't used 2000 in a while, but I did once use it that way, and
right clicking on the network interface in question and selecting
properties is how to find the place to set the port forward.
I'd imagine google would be quite handy if you can't find it yourself.
Okie day, seems simple enough. I found some basic how-to's via google,
and supposedly got port 80 forwarded to my Linux box's IP. Problem is
it seems to make no difference. supposedly I should just be able to go
to http://[my.internet.ip]:80/index.shtml or whatever and get apache...
right? I know apache is working okay because I can go to
http://[my.local.ip]/index.shtml and it pops up with it's placeholder.
what am I not doing?
Thanx,
