Well, first you will need to make sure that you have apache (WEB SERVER)
installed and configured, but the internet will only be able to see your
web server if you have a static IP number and have registered a domain
name to that IP number.
If you are connecting with a modem through an ISP, your IP number is
most likely allocated dynamically and will therefore be different every
time you connect. You might also find that the IP number your ISP
allocates is in one of the 'internal' ranges, e.g. 192.168.*.*. If this
is the case your machine will not be seen at all by the internet in
general.
You can find out the IP number when you are connected by using
'ifconfig'. The number you need is in the entry for ppp0 and should
look something like: inet addr:195.147.170.197 although the number
will of course be different.

All the above applies to both DSL and cable modems, but even more so. I
have never seen a DSL or cable setup that uses real IP numbers, perhaps
someone else knows differently.
Of course this does not stop you from running apache on your local
setup, where it will work well as a caching proxy server and speed up
your access times to frequently visited sites.

Dave
