Hello,

I just bought a new Macbook Pro (finally!) and I plan on using my old Powerbook as a home server, mainly as a printer and file server. I have apache running on it also and I can connect with any computers in my house fine, but I was wondering if I would be able to allow public access. I should mention I'm behind a router. I thought about just opening the respective ports of each service but I don't think that's all I need to do.
