publish web pages using XP home and wireless base station?

[DJ]

Hi,

I am running XP home edition and am using the wireless
base station firewall. I would like to publish a web site
that is located on my home computer. What do I do need to
do configuration-wise to the base station to allow
external access to my website?

In terms of the website, do I need to do anything more
than publish to a share on my computer?

Thank you

You need to have a web server software running on the host computer
and you need to forward port 80 to that computer. Also you need to
check and insure that your provider allows you to do this (many do
not). XP Home does not come with a web server. Suggest Windows Server
2003.
