Good morning!

I've got to install server but I know almost nothing about computer networks. And I've got two basic questions. 1. Where should I connect cable from server? And what kind of cable should it be (crossover or what)? 2. How can I configure redirecting of port 80 on router (I didn't see any router - look at the picture)? They said to me that "it must be available from the outside world but through the other port" but I don't get it.

The picture with the network is here: http://images49.fotosik.pl/155/ab7e52eb8b03b4de.jpg

In general they said me to do the following: install IIS (does it contain e-mail service?), redirecting of port 80 on router, NAT (on router to 80; to choose default port when installing UMC), free VNC (because Microsoft remote desktop is not so good), MySQL, PHP, WWW.

I know it is possible to do all above things with the use of Microsoft XP Professional but is it also possible to do it with MS XP Home Edition?

Thanks in advance for the answer to my lame questions :P
Greetings!
