Hello, I want to launch a Internet wide accessible web based application from my machine (now running RH 8). We are connected to net using a leased line from local ISP. I got 3 options to connect my machine to net. Out of this 1) proxy and 2) dhcp are working fine for my out going connections, but users outside my network cannot access my server. I do not have a registered host name (is it possible for users outside my network to access my machine using it's IP address in web browser?) 3) Third option is to use fixed static IP/mask/Gateway/DNS alloted by ISP. But when I am using the last option. "network start" is complaining that "Bringing up interface eth0: Error, some other host already uses address a.b.c.d. (IP address alloted to my machine from ISP) But when I am using the same IP address/dns/mask on a win2k machine, I am able to launch my application and others can access it. Also it seems to me that RH is slowly side lining "linuxconf" (Xconfigurator too). "linuxconf" and new RH "Network Configuration" tool contradict each other in DNS/Gateway field. What is preventing my machine to boot up with a fixed IP provided by ISP? Any pointers are welcome
