I have a question. I connect to the internet using dial-up (KPPP) on my standalone machine. When connected, I get the (temporary) IP address of my computer. Now, I want to be able to fire up Apache and give this IP address to my friends immediately, so that they can connect to the internet and say http://<IP address> to have Apache serve pages from my computer. Is it possible?
Well, I guess it may be, but that would involve opening up port 80 on my computer. But I was not able find information related to that in the iptables man page.
Do the hosts.allow/hosts.deny need to be modified (they don't have anything in them right now).
Finally, I am doubly sure that on dial-up, this project is just for fun and little more. However, if (a big if) I have a DSL or a similar fast connection and a permanent IP address, will it be feasible to serve my home page from my (powerful) PC, or will there be some security risks?
Thank you. Kumar
