So your dsl connection comes in, goes through your dsl modem to a hub, which connects
the two computers? Are you sure it's a hub, or is it a router? If it is a hub, you may
need to get a router that can handle port-forwarding (most can). If you already have
the router, connect to it by opening a webbrowser and connecting to it's IP address.
(Mine is 192.168.1.1. yours could be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1). Anyway find port
forwarding and make it forward port 80 to the local IP address of the computer that
will host the site.
HTH,
