I'm trying to set up a web server at home using IIS on Win XP. I obtained a Domain name and DNS service through APlusNet. I have four systems hooked into a router using a dynamic IP address. When I check the IP address using the dos command ipconfig, I only get the internal IP address from the router. How can I determine my IP address into the router, and how do I redirect to the correct internal IP address?

its all in the router configuration. through it you can set the external ip address your ISP has assigned to you. also, you would probrobly have to set your web server to an internal static ip. Next you would have to configure the router to forward port 80 to the internal static ip of your web server.
