In order to do this, you will need to poke a hole through the firewall
part of the dsl router. Generally, this will be under a section called
port forwarding (or something, it differs depending on the router).
What you are looking for is something that allows you to input the
following:
* the external port - 80
* the internal port - 80
* the internal IP - 192.168.0.1 (for example)
* the protocol - TCP or UDP
This will then redirect all requests on port 80 to your web server.
Note: if this is for a home internet connection, check your service
agreement before doing this as many ISPs scan for active servers on
port 80. If you get caught they may disconnect your internet
connection. If this is a business connection, disregard the above.
