Id like to install and run a web-server on another computer than my e-smith server (I have a computer connected to the internal network). So far no problems, its works smoothly, but how can reach this server from the outside world? (the internet) ??
Do I have to set up an additional line in the routing table of my e-smith server??
Or is it something else I,m totally in the dark here
If anyone could give me documentation or other help Id be very thankful.

There are two ways to do this. First, get a second IP an run the computers "side by side" ( ie BOTH connected directly to the internet) IMHO, this is the best way if you are using the ftp/http server for something serious like e-commerce ect. The other way, is to get ipmasqadm and use it for port forwarding. it's at http://juanjox.linuxhq.com.

I think you should be able to do this with two e-smith servers. The web and ftp server need to run on the externally connected machine which you configure as a server gateway. Configure the other machine as server only.
If you want to give this a try, please email me directly and I'll work through the configration issues with you.

look for a program call simpleproxy
the it is a simple command like:
simpleproxy -L my.host.com 81 -R my internal ip number 80 -d
once you know it works put it in a startup file.
