W2k Question

[Charles Rishel]

I am not a router guru, but you may want to look into changing the default 
port for the router admin page if possible.  It would bother me greatly to 
have my router admin page accessible from the outside anyway, as well as an 
access list to control connections to said port.

With my coyote router, I have my web-server setup on a different external 
port, redirecting to the actual web-server.  Since I don't run a publically 
accessible website anyway, it works for me, in the URL, I just use 
http://ip-addy:port#/dir/ to access my pages from outside my LAN.

On his internal network, edit the Hosts.sam file.. add the ip address and 
name of his box that is serving the pages.. NOT the FQDN.. just hostname.. 
then he can hit the internal site with
http://hostname/dir/

IE.. my server is named bleys.. I will leave it to the readers to figure 
out what series of books that name came from.. ;-)

In my Hosts.sam.. I have..
192.168.x.x     bleys
I can access my pages via
http://bleys/chaz/

Hope this helps ya out.
