If it doesn't already have a password set one immediately. Then go to the Port Forwarding link on the left. If web is the only thing you want to do then add the HTTP and HTTPS (secure HTTP) service and enter the IP address of your internal server that is running the web server. then the router will forward all incoming traffic for port 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) to that internal server. if you want to do email then use port 25 for SMTP, and port 110 for POP3. For remote desktop support use port 3389. that is true, if you are using a simple NAT firewall like a netgear one all you have to do is go to your browser and type in the address, usually 192.168.0.1 and hit enter.
