I was able to see my webpage through LAN(ie. between linux PC and
target board)
If i want to see my webpage in internet what are the things i have to
do.
In kernel side and PC side.
I connected my target board to internet.

I have registered IP address.

Is this a direct connection, or are you going through a NAT router? If you are
using a NAT router, you will need to forward port 80 to the service port on
your target device.

Ok. I presume that the PC is acting as a router or gateway between the target
board and the internet. Is that correct?

Is the PC also running Linux?

How does the PC connect to the internet? Tell me about cables, modems,
routers, etc.

In simple terms, you need incoming traffic on port 80 of your PC to be
forwarded to the service port (presumably port 80) on your target board.
(You need to configure port forwarding on the PC and routers).

Out of interest, what is the application of this "target board"? Why not just
run the web server on the PC? Are you setting up some sort of remote access
controller? (I'm just being nosey here ... you don't have to tell me, if you
don't want to.) [I used to be a techhie]

Regards,

Mark.

You need to configure your ADSL modem. The modem either functions as a
router, assigning your target board a private IP address (192.168.x.x or
10.x.x.x); or as a bridge, which gives your board a publicly visible IP
address. If the modem functions as a router, you configure it to
forward port 80 to the target board. Clients on the internet will need
to know the modem's IP address.
