Hi,

Just as a cautionary afterthought: Most cable-providers really do not like
you running web-servers on your private cable-modem connections - better
check your terms of use and so on. For any other kind of server, I don't
think thye care much, but port 80 is one port that I bet they watch for.
In the end I guess it would probably depend on the number of hits you're
generating, but it might be safer to run the webserver on a non-standard
port, or to make sure that the cable-provider is cool with it.
