Simply dont enable portforwarding or virtual server on the router?!

If the ADSL Modem is on this Mandrake 9.2 PC, then Im thinking you'll have to use an iptables rule also, as Im not sure if Apache will restrict access to LAN only.

try:
man httpd

192629 2003-11-18 00:48:00 "Mandrake comes with extensive documentation" including "on IPtables and stuff". X-( All Linux distributions come wiuth extensive documentation. Look at the HOWTOs. After looking at those, look at the online documentation ... clever people have written lots of documentation for all the services and aplpiocations for *nix. They would love people to read it. :_|

Try "iptables linux", (or anything else with "linux") to google.

192630 2003-11-18 01:06:00 That is kind of what I was meaning.

The first part of my statement was sardonic (?). I was kind of hinting that not many people RTFM. Myself included.

Second part because (a) I only use Mandrake for digitising my albums; (b) I wasn't personally sure that there would be documentation for every single program installed on a distrubition even when the program itself isn't installed.

Or, in a nutshell:
use the HOWTO's / man pages ;-)
