I have a wireless router intergrated with 4 port switch and connected to the modem.
I installed Redhat9 webserver and succesfully get the http://localhost
I have two NIC, which is both of them is connected directly to 1st and 2nd port of switch.
The first NIC is planned to be webserver connection and the second will be for internet surfing.
The first NIC i works well where I can surf the internet. But the second NIC is where I getting confuse on how to set the IP for webserver.
---THE INFO
My Internet Connection is using Dynamic IP but it doesn't mind because I just want to see it works.
My LAN is using IP from 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.255. In My router configuration I do set the Ip of the router is 192.168.0.254, netmask is 255.255.255.0, DHCP Start IP Address is 192.168.0.100 and DHCP End IP Address is 192.168.0.254. I also given by my ISP the DNS server which is 202.188.*.*(primary) amd 202.188.*.*(secondary).
When I read the router info.. it show the router IP addressand Gateway IP is 219.95.100.200(fake).

You should be able to access it externally by pointing your browser to the IP address of the router. ie, http://219.95.100.200.
You have to make sure you have Port 80 forwarded to the IP address of the computer on your network that has the web server running, though. If you don't forward port 80, it will be inaccessible to the outside world.
