[Web4lib] firewalling a Koha web server

[John Fitzgibbon]

Hi,

I have installed Koha on a PC; so, the PC is acting as a web server to
two other PCs/Opacs which are on the same LAN. I wish to make the
internet available to these Opacs. How do I go about fire walling the
Koha server? Do I use a router? Internet access will be through a DSL
line.

If I wish to make the Koha web site available on the web, what
additional steps should I take? Is there a web site I can use to provide
the Koha server with a Domain name or can it be only accessed by
specifying its IP address?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
