Yo. I'm done some experimenting with web hosting, but I'm really quite
new at it. I have a little home network with a single static IP. The
internet server (Windows 2000 Server... I'd prefer a Mandrake box, but
anyway) is the only computer with the static IP. I also have an ol'
Mandrake 9.1 box attatched. My experience is really close to null; what
I'd like to know is this: is it possible, basically, to host a website
on the Mandrake box and have it easily acessable to the web? I know
that the Win2k box is up to it, IIS's http & ftp servers work without
flaw, but is there any way that I can route a domain to the Mandrake box
that doesn't have an Internat IP? sure, it's got a local IP, but that
doesn't do much good.
Thanx,
ES

Yes you can, all you need to do is port forward port 80 on the windows box to port 80 on the internal IP of the mandrake box.
I haven't used 2000 in a while, but I did once use it that way, and right clicking on the network interface in question and selecting properties is how to find the place to set the port forward.
I'd imagine google would be quite handy if you can't find it yourself.
