Ok i have one computer directly connected to the internet via cable modem no router, no hub, no special connection software. I have 2 other computers connected to it in a chain using internet connection sharing. All 3 connect to the internet just fine with no problems running chat software and P2P software. All 3 systems run Win Xp Pro / SP2.
I have Abyss Web Server installed on the second computer, the other two computers can access my webpages hosted by Abyss, both can access the console but no one out side of this network can access my webpages ore the console.
So the First computer would be a gateway for the second one wich has Abyss installed on it. Can I set up Abyss to run this way ore do I have to set it up on the computer directly connected to the internet. Ore can I set up port forwarding on the first computer like it was a router. That seams to be what I need to do in order to get this configuration to work.
Any help would be much appreciated, I havent done a lot of networking myself and I am totally self taught in all computer areas, never taken any kind of course ever. But I am far from computer illiterate, I have 8 year's of expierience with the thing's, lol.
This is just the first time I have ever set up a web server of any kind.
Any one that want's to give me some input and help me out here, may contact me by E-Mail thebuzzedone@hotmail.com this is my MSN messanger contact too if you would prefer that method.

I allways have these chat programs running i never shut them off and I am almost allways sitting at one of my computers so I am usually easy to get a hold of if any one wants to chat, about Abyss I really like the software so far and love information input about computers. LOL
Thanks for any help any one could give me.
THE BUZZ.
