Ok, I am running Windows2000 with IIS5.0 and i want to host my own page but currently people can't connect to my computer. I have 4 comps on my LAN all sharing cable modem internet through a Linksys router (that purple and black one). When i enter into the browser the IP address that the cable ppl said they gave me, i get the Linksys setup page. When i enter in the IP address that the router gives me (is that true? the router assigns me an IP address also?) from a computer that is not on my LAN, then the browser times out. What do i need to do?

IP Addresses, Routers, and people can't connect to my computer!!

The IP address that the linksys gives you is a non-routable over the internet (meaning the internet routers will ignore requests to or from those addresses). The linksys gave you an address like 192.168.0.1.
The reason you can browse the internet with that address is that the linksys translates any address on your internal network to a single routable address (i.e. a "real" internet address). All of you PCs will share this address. Since it is a translated address (aka a "NAT"-ed address) other users will not be able to connect even if you provide them with the internet address of the router.
You'll need to either: plug your PC directly into the cable modem, note the address of your PC and give out that address, or config the linksys to route the inbound request to your PC (not sure if the linksys allows that)

What is wrong with the following IP, 135.12.222.213.1?
I am working on an assignment and can not figure this out.

For one it has too many octets. The IP address represents 4 octets separated by periods. It should look like x.x.x.x where x represents a number between 1 and 254 (i.e. 135.12.222.213)
