Your Server

How to setup Linux server using Linksys WRT54G router?

I want to setup Linux CentOS 5.3 server from home and install everything needed to host a websites from home. I currently have dynamic IP but it stays the same as long as I do not unplug my cable modem for a long time. I did simple install of CentOs using defaults but when I try to input my IP it directs me to Linksys setup screen and asks for admin password. Anyone can help me out here?

2. If I understand you correctly, you are accessing your home's internet IP outside your home's network. If you want to access a computer inside your home private network, you will need to setup port forwarding on the Router. There is a page in the Linksys configuration page to do that. Remember the web port is 80. You will probably want to set a static IP on the server, so the router doesn't keep giving it different IPs. Alternatively you can setup your Linksys to keep giving the same IP too. http://www.404techsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/linksys2.jpg
