    Your web server should be listening on TCP port 80 at the LAN address of
    the machine hosting it.

    Port Mapping
    Listen Port: 80
    Listen IP: <Unspecified>
    Protocol: TCP
    Destination IP: LAN address of server
    Dest. Port: 80

    Packet Filter
    Incoming
    Internet Interface
    ...
    Permit TCP Any host port>1023 -> Any host port=80
    ...

    DHCP is not a consideration unless you use Winroute's DHCP server for your
    LAN, in which case the web server's LAN address may change, rendering your
    mapping useless.

    Note that unless you've got other packet filter rules (specifically, one
    that drops or denies unwanted traffic) you don't need a rule to allow
    connection to your web server.
    However, you do need a port mapping.
