Re: server & redirecting port 80 on router
Thank you really much for your comprehensive answer.
It is beginning of my intern in IT company, just after second year of studies so I've got really much useless knowledge about advanced maths but nothing about computer networks. They bought a computer (device dedicated to be a server) and asked me to do what I have already written in the previous post. My first thought (after little reaserch in the internet) was to use LAMP with Debian. But they told me to use Windows XP. I thought they've got Windows XP Professional but they have only installer for Win XP Home Edition so I told them I can use either free Linux or I need them to give me Win XP Proff. They've chosen the latter and I wait third week for any CD. The man also suggested me to use VNC but it looks like his suggestion is really poor solution :P.
The server must be something like place to store some internal data of the company, also available through remote desktop.
You told "The cable from your server should be attached to a switch". I've got socket "switch" on that Firelli (or Pirelli?) but I guess it is only place to connect the switch so that's not it. I also have Gigaset but I don't know what it is. So where should I connect it? The graph of the network is done by me because I completely didn't know what's going on in that bush of cables :D.
You told "Alternatively if you have a DSL router, most have at least 4 switchports" - on the graph (link is in the previous post) I've got only ADSL Microfilter so I guess I don't have any DSL router but I dunno.
And maybe the most lame question which I can ask :) - why don't I see any router in this network? You asked "Do you have a dedicated router and switch?". Where can it be connected into this whole graph of the network so that I can check it? There's almost always nobody in that job because all of them do something in other cities :).
Summarizing, the most crucial thing is to understand how this network works and how to connect this whole stuff physically because without proper physical connection I cannot do anything :D.
Greetings and thanks really much for your help
