If you want to serve web pages in RH, then use Apache, which comes with
the package (of course, if you choose to install it).

Depends on what is your gateway. However, whether your gateway is RH or
windows, you will have to find a way to "route" the request for a webpage
FROM your gateway TO your webserver. If your RH box is your gateway, the
you can use ipchains. In windows, I have no idea how to do it :). But
the obvious question is, why host it in another machine while you can put
it in your gateway machine. Use your RH box as your gateway, use Apache
to host webpages, then get rid of your windows boxes (hahahah, just
kidding on the third part, but hey, this is a linux list right :))

Right. Get a fixed IP. Most of the ISPs offer this type of service. (we
do, *grins*, shameless plug) Once you have the real ip, you can use port
8080 as the "other" webserver port.
HTH.
