Thanks.
I have a static ip from my isp already. allowing port 80 access will be no
problem, as I am going to set up another pc just for the purpose of hosting my
web site, on the world side of the firewall, this way there will be little
chance of someone getting into my home lan. At least I think this will work.
What do you think?
Do I still need my isp for basic internet access, or is
there a way for me to get that access without the isp?
