Hey, just bringing this old question up for a vote.

yes you can.\n\n1) each pc on your network you need to give a set ip address, as most routers give each computer an ip address when the computer starts up.\n\n2) in your router setup you would have to also look at port fowarding, this so outside world requests can get thorugh to a specif machine, you should have some already pre set but not operation, i have a linksys, i give an app name such as http, set the external port to 80, internal port to 80, it will ask for an internal ip address. this would be the ip of your web server in my case 10.0.0.3 and save changes.\n3) you would then need some sort of dns lookup service. if you join no-ip.com which is free, then go to download there software onto your web server. my site is shoey.no-ip.info (its not up as im upgrading my server) then this will keep no ip up to date with your connection.\n4) you would follow similar processes for setting up ftp etc\n\nthis is only a really rough quick, guide. if you e-mail me what router you got, id be able to give you something a bit more to your settings

You don't need an internet connection to set up a server.\n\nA server will run just fine without one.

Both answers above are true, but are limited.\n\nYes, in most cases you need a static IP, but this is not always the case.  There are services such as No-IP.com that will allow you to link a domain name to a dynamic IP, as long as you're running their client on your server.\n\nPlease note that most ISPs do not allow public access web servers from personal computers, regardless of if you have a static or dynamic IP.  Check with your ISP before setting up your server for public access.\n\nAs far as servers go, IIS is one option, but there are other alternatives, one of which is Apache.  Apache is free, supports multiple platforms (it can run on inux, MACs, and Windows), and can run a host of different modules including PHP, Perl, MySQL, and more.  One easy to set up version can be found on Apache Friends.\n\nAlso, you should only need to configure one of three ports (80, 8000, or 8080) to be open on your firewall in order for your server to work.  Just be sure to configure your web server to "listen" to teh port you assign open.

It depends on how you're doing it. The easiest way is to use a DSL switch/router like Linksys or Dlink . connect THAT to the DSL router, and then all your computers connect to the router. Most routers sell between 25 and 50 dollars and have easy setup programs.

you should be able to do a remote desktop, or use www.gotomypc.com, that is what I use when I travel for business to connect to our server.  Hope this helps

You can't--at least not unless you know the protocol and telnet from a shell to that server.  Otherwise, try a site like http://www.dslreports.com/whois or http://dnsstuff.com

you didn't  write if you will be connecting from client pc or what ever.\n\nanyways\n\n if your client os/computer is to be registered with domain\n\nInstall windows 2000 Server or 2003 \n1:-    Install routing and remote access\n2:- install terminal services\n\nsetup a vpn at isp( freely setup by isp, dsl provider)\n\nnow you can connect to you server from you client pc using ip address. \n\nopen a terminal windows/ give ip of your server/users name/password\nyou will be able to see the destop of your server as it is on your on pc\nenjoy running applition or what ever you like.\n\n\n if your client os/computer is not to be registered with domain\n\nsetup a vpn at isp( freely setup by isp, dsl provider)\n\ninstall any remotly anywhere software eg. symantec anywhere/ vnc viewer at both ends (server and client)\n\nrun remote viewer / give ip and password\n\nyou are connected to you server.\n\nGood Luck

The easiest way is to use a web based proxy, one where you go to a website and tell it the site you want to go to and it takes you there.  The people who are blocking the content only can tell that you went the the proxy site but will not know where you went using that. I have listed some below. You can also configure your computer to automatically use a proxy server. The directions to do this are below.\n\n1.On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and then click LAN Settings.\n\n2.Under Proxy server, click to select the Use a proxy server for your LAN check box.\n\n3.In the Address box, type the IP address of the proxy server.\n\n4.In the Port box, type the port number that is used by the proxy server for client connections (by default, 8080).\n\n5.You can click to select the Bypass proxy server for local addresses check box if you do not want the proxy server computer to be used when you connect to a computer on the local network (this may speed up performance).\n\n6.Click OK to close the LAN Settings dialog box.\n7.Click OK again to close the Internet Options dialog box.\n\n\nThere are both anonymous proxies and ones that are not anonymous. Both will get you buy the "firewall" that you seem to have.  Using an anonymous proxy prevents the website that you are browsing from knowing who you are, they think that you are the proxy server.\n\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. \nA proxy server is a computer network service that allows clients to make indirect network connections to other network services. A client connects to the proxy server, then requests a connection, file, or other resource available on a different server. The proxy provides the resource either by connecting to the specified server or by serving it from a cache. In some cases, the proxy may alter the client's request or the server's response for various purposes.

Probably nothing that you don't already have. Just about any computer these days can function as a server. What exactly are you trying to do? Please let me know and I'll provide more specific info.

Well, first of all you need a server.  The kind of server you need really depends on what you want to do with said server.  In other words, if you want to host simple web pages with little interaction, then you don't need too much power.  However, if you intend to host database applications, multimedia streaming, or mail service, you will need more power.\n\nThere are a lot of things to consider when building a server, but if it's in your house, security should be the first one.  A server (if you are unfamiliar) is just a PC running a Server OS (Windows XP Pro running IIS, or Windows Server 2003).  You can also (if you are comfortable) run a Linux-based server, which will increase security and up-time (these are usually called LAMP - Linux Apache MySQL Perl/PHP).  \n\nYou will also need a high-speed connection, and most importantly a high-speed upload.  You don't HAVE to get a static IP, because there are services which will remedy the dynamic IP issue, but it is definitely recommended.  You would most likely want a synchronous connection like a T1 line or SDSL.  Most DSL or ADSL lines give you a 1.5-3.0 mbps download rate, but only a 128-384 kbps upload rate.  With this type of connection, people accessing your server would experience VERY slow navigation.  Also, keep in mind that your local ISP isn't going to be too happy if your connection is trafficking huge amounts of bandwidth on a daily basis.\n\nTell me what you are thinking of doing, and I'll give you al the advice you could need.  As far as making it your profession, are you talking about maintaining a server on which you would allow other people to host their websites?  The short answer is no, you couldn't do it cheap enough.  You really need a hord of servers and fast connections and thousands of clients.  \n\nHowever, if you are talking about hosting your own webserver in house for your own sites, you could be profitable.  Sometimes, however, it's not worth the headache and easy to find a cheap domain host.

Find out which ports are still open and not blocked by firewall, then set up the apache.conf file to listen on that port. That will be the port for your Webserver.

It depends on what software you have on the server, and if you want to do anything with the login. The most basic way is with .htpasswd and .htaccess files (many web hosts will let you set these up in your control panel, if not, searching on these names should turn up tutorials)

There are basically two ways to make a web page. The first way is to create the page(s) offline and then upload them to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) via FTP. The second way is to create your web page(s) online using a Telnet program by accessing your UNIX account, if you have one. \n\nIf you are creating your web page(s) offline, do so in any text editing or word processing document. Make sure that when you save your document, you save it as a "text", "plain text" or "text only" document. Otherwise it will not be read properly by a web browser. Once you have created your page(s), you will need to contact your ISP about how to go about uploading them to your server.\n\nIf you have a UNIX account, you can create your web page(s) online. You first need to get a program that can access your UNIX account. I recommend Telnet for the Mac or Ewan for Windows 95/98.\n\nOnce you can access your account, you need to make a new directory called "public_html". You can do this by typing:\n\n\nmkdir public_html\n\n\nAfter this, change your directory to this new directory called "public_html".\n\n\ncd public_html\n\n\nIf you want to, you can make other directories, one for all the web pages that you make, and one for all of the graphics that you have. Follow the same steps as above to do this.\n\nNext, you need to think of a filename for your page (this is not a title, but what will be in the URL). A common filename for a main web page, is "index". Once you've decided on this, add ".html" to the end of it. Then type (i.e.)\n\n\npico index.html\n\n\nOf course, use your page's filename, instead of this one. Next, you need to gain some knowledge of the many HTML commands. Lucky for you, I've already gotten some of the basic commands for you. Follow the index below, to decide what to put on your page, and how to do it. Once you've gotten started, exit your page. You can do this by pressing control-x. Then you need to type:\n\n\nchmod 744 index.html\n\n\nOnly do this with the filename of your page. You only need to do this the very first time that you leave your web page. This command will make sure that nobody else can delete your page. You will need to do this to any other pages that you make in the future. Then, look at your page on the WWW. Lets say that your server is "www.domain.com", your username is "username", and the name of your page is "index.html". The URL would normally be:\n\n\nhttp://www.domain.com/~username/index.html\n\n\nHowever, you will need to contact your ISP for your URL. \n\nIf you have made separate directories for pages and graphics, then you need to include that in the URL also. Lets say that you made a directory for all of your web pages, called "Pages". The new URL would be: http://www.domain.com/~username/Pages/index.html \n\nTitle\nThe first thing to put on your web page, is a title. The title is what will show up in the very top of the window. Let's say that your title is going to be "John Doe's Web Page", you would type:\n\n\n<title>John Doe's Web Page</title>\n\n\nIn HTML, every command is surrounded by <'s, and >'s. And in most commands, you need to tell the web browser when to end this command. You do this by putting a back slash (/) in front of the ending command, as in above. Since HTML isn't case sensitive, <title> is the same as <TITLE>, which is the same as <TiTLe>. Next, you need to decide what you want to put on your page. Text, links, graphics, and text fields, are just a few ideas. Follow the table of contents above to decide how, and what to put on your page.\n\n\n \n\nText\n \n\nHeadings\nHTML has six levels of headings, numbered 1 through 6, with 1 being the largest. Headings are displayed in larger, or smaller fonts, and usually bolder. If you wanted to type "Hello", this is what you woul
