Access linuxserver behind router

[manzana]

Hi everyone,
(I am quite new with Mac, and how recomforting to see this site where everyone help eachother)

Maybe someone can help me out.
I have a small network at home.

1 linux gentoo websever
1 pc
1 iMac
1. sitecom adls modem/router

When I try to surf to a website being hosted on the linuxsever, I end up on the router. PC had the same problem.
In the PC case I solved this by editting the HOSTS files (under system32).

Any idea what I need to do in the case of a MAc ?
Netinfo....? If so, what ?

Thanxs.

Are you saying that the webserver is connected to the Internet out of one port and is connected to the house network via anotherf port?

Internet <--> LINUX box <--> Internal network (macs, pc, etc)

Is the Linux box acting as the router for your internal network to the Internet, i.e. all house network traffic is routed through your linux box?

Editing /etc/hosts just like any UNIX would be a quick test fix for your network setup, you could work out the Netinfo after this as its a bit long winded.

The router is connected/identified by the pc.
This, because my provider only had a PC installation CD !!!
