[Drum2jc]

hi, i want to know how to turn my compooper into a server, or just so i can have a "public_html" folder that can be accessed from the internet... how do i set this up?

i have a linksys BEFW11S4 802.11B wireless router, and whenever i try to access my ip address, i get the little username and password box saying we need your username and pw for linksys ssid8239-423894-023...blah..(the numbers arent real) and i dont know what they are... http://cybertechhelp.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif .... how can i find out what they are and access my comp?

Which version of Windows do you have? If you're running Windows 98, 2000, or XP Pro, you can install web server software (Internet Information Services) from Microsoft, or for any other version, you can download and install Apache.

For the router, the defualts are:

Login: (leave blank)
Password: admin

Keep in mind that if you changed this at one point, you'll have to reset the router, but that will clear all your settings.

Once you get into the router, there should be an option somewhere (sorry, don't know linksys well) that will let you forward all HTTP (Port 80) traffic to a computer on your network.
