You do need a router of some sort and unless your ADSL service provider allows you to have multiple static IPs, you'll need a Network Address Translation (NAT) service to allow you to share the one IP you pay for with the two devices (PC & PIC). I believe ICS should accomplish this although knowing Microsoft probably in some inefficiently obscure way. I have a Netgear cable/DSL router which performs both tasks for me. The nice thing is that if I had a PIC web server (wish I had the time to make one) my PC would not need to be turned on all the time. Linksys makes another competing model. They both have come down in price since I bought mine to maybe around $100US at CompUSA (!@#$%) or Best Buy. The throughput on these routers is much better than what you'll get running router software on your PC, but it can be more expensive.

This is available in Windows 98/ME/2000. Here is an article about ICS. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q234/8/15.ASP I'm not sure if or how to configure it to allow access to your PIC via the internet. You may have to set up Peer/Personal Web Server on your computer, and provide a link to your PIC.

My computer has 2 Ethernet board, one is connected to a ADSL modem and the other to the pic web server. The pic web server has an address of 192.168.0.3 the computer Ethernet board is 192.168.0.1 and the other one connected to the ADSL is 200.221.41.219. I can connect to the pic web server from my computer but how can I access it from Internet? Do I need some kind of gateway?
