Hello Chris.
First, you have to register your domain IE (www.yoursite.blah)
you then have to configure DNS so yoursite.blah can be seen from the internet
you have to configue sendmail (or whatever MTA you use) to accept incoming connections for www.yoursite.blah( as well as be the smtp server for your domain.
you also have to configure apache to serve web pages for yoursite.blah
last but not least, you have to log into your ADSL router and open ports 25 & 110 for mail and port 80 for HTTP.
for example, forward port 80 requests to 10.0.0.3 (your linux box)
It's not too bad to do,

Hi, I have interesting problem which I don't how to look at or solve. I'm sure it's been addressed somewhere, I just don't know. It probably stems from my own misunderstanding.
Anyway, I have an ADSL Connection, the Modem handles all this and also acts as the DHCP server. My PC connect to this via ethernet and have IP addresses in the range 10.0.0.0 - 138 (the router is 10.0.0.138). Now, I'm setting up an FC2 box to act as my website and Email server. I want to take over from the Hosting Company.
Currently, my FC2 Box is connected via the ADSL Modem and has the IP Address 10.0.0.3. My problem is, how do I 'see' this box from the internet?
