Hi,

I have a wireless network setup as follows:

ADSL Modem / Router -> Firewall -> Wireless Base

We have a static IP which points to the router. I want to run a webserver on my computer which can be accessed via the internet by others. How can I point the IP address to my computer.

Is it possible to have:
http://theipaddress/1/ goto a certain computer
http://theipaddress/2/ goto a different computer
http://theipaddress/3/ goto a another computer etc.
...or something similar so each computer can run a seperate webserver.

Also one of the users on my network wants a remote computer to control his computer via Apple Remote Desktop, how can this be done?
 
Port 80 is by default the port for webservers. Forward this port to the IP address of the computer acting as the server. For most consumer routers that I know of, you can't forward the same port to different machines, a big limitation for me sometimes. You can forward different ports to different machines and access them like http://webaddress:[portnumber]
 
Okay, cool thanks for your help.

Just another quick question.
I have a friend who accesses the net via a router and he needs some help so I though about using VNC with him. Is there any easy way to do this considering he knows virtually nothing about routers etc?
 
some routers accept many one-to-one IP mapping, this would allow for several web servers behind your firewall.
