Accessing Static IP number from behind a netgear router

I have a netgear router as my internet access points for 15 workstations.  it is set it up with a static ip number of 64.xx.xx.2 for the internet and set it as a DHCP server.  I also have a windows 2003 server that i want to use as web server for presenting basic information to our clients. it has a static ip number of 64.xx.xx.5. the server has 2 nic cards the other ip address is 192.168.1.160. I am unable to access 64.xx.xx.5 from the internet. and i am also unable to ping it.  what do i need to do to make this work??

You need to setup PAT (port address translation) for port 80/443 to your webserver. If you are publishing web pages to the internet.

Where is plugged the server external NIC 64.x.x.5? In a switch, where Internet connection form ISP is entering, or in the netgear? Which netgear model do you have?

Thank you. i did not realize i had to point the webpage to the router.
this answer was fast, easy to understand and accurate
Not sure why you didn't accept my first post as i already stated doing Port Address Translation?
