What distro do you have installed?

gnome linux? do you mean ubuntu?
If so you can type:
aptitude install php4 apache2

what firewall do you have? a hardware router or just some iptables rules?
If you have a router you have to log into it and look if there is something like "Virtual Host", "NAT forwarding" or similiar. There you have to type in your ip-adress and external (and internal) port which will both be port 80.
Than it should work already

oh

Though there is a bit more to "setup" than merely installing, so you'll need this in the long run:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/

Probably this to:

http://www.php.net/docs.php

And maybe even this:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/

And it certainly wouldn't hurt to have these:

http://www.linuxguruz.com/iptables/howt ... ables.html

http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Ban ... O/cbq.html

But that depends really on if you will be needing PHP and MySQL and if you want a fast web server or one being bogged down by Ddos attacks and script kiddes.

This is kinda related to the above but not realy. If u set up ur webserver and stuff wat about dns and all that stuff I mean how does that work? Coz as far as I've seen some one else asign u a dns and that won't work if u've got ur own server?

You might also want to go to http://www.apachefriends.org/en/projects.html and install their product. It installs a whole lot of things in one big fell swoop.

It includes apache, php5, mysql and perl aswell as a few other things that you might find usefull and its very easy to use.
