I have a cable modem, connected to a router/switch/firewall Netgear RP114. On that router i have 3 machines 2 running windows XP and one running Linux. I wanted to set up a Web/FTP server on my linux machine its running Red Hat 8, it has apache 2 and everything else on the package. I know a little of networking here or there, but i know i'm missing something could some one tell me what would be the best way to go on about to set up Apache. DO i need DNS (a got a domain from Register.com that will be assigned to my IP:24.60.74.111) I know i got some settings i'm missing on my router, but i sure i can get that one if i can only get my server up and running. Tcks.

you need to turn on NAT to forward port 80 from your routers public address to your linux boxes private address. You don't need dns to connect to apache. You can type http://24.60.74.111 in a browser to bring up a connection. Do the same for ftp.. port 21 then ftp://24.60.74.111
