I use cable Internet connection, with two PCs. One is operating under Fedora Core3 and other one is running under Windows XP SP2.
The Windows machine is connected directly to the modem and the Linux box is using shared Internet connection by Windows pc.

I run a webserver in Linux box. But the problem is when I point the browser to the public IP, there is no reponse from server. However if I run the webserver on my Windows box and point my browser to the public IP it works fine.

My question is how do I host the webserver in Linux box without connecting the Linux box directly to the modem?

Thanks in advance
 
Well, you could have your windows and your linux comps run webservers except for the windows servers pages you could have them get their content from the linux server. Sort of like an application server.
 
You would need to enabel soem form of port forwarding on the windows machine so that incoming connections are forwardeed to the linux system, personalyl iw oudl sy it would be easier to invest in a router to do this, but there may be some software out there to help you, although i couldn't find anytihng on a quick web search
