I have a static IP from the cable company.  I have a dual 550 celeron,
256MB RAM, 80 GB of hard drive using Windows NT4 server.  My server is
online 24/7 here.  I am not familiar with setting up a web site on a
server and since I am behind a firewall on the router, how to give
people outside aceess to the files....without being hacked.
