My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive.
Setup your router to forward to that machine.
Open the firewall (if active) on that machine.
Have Apache listening on that ethernet device.
Thats it pretty much. I would have some free space for logging. I personally recommend saving the logs to either its own partition or a NFS mount, just so that they can never get too large and crash the server.
Check here .
If you need specific help, post away ..
ADSL router.
Web server is on the same machine with firewall.
Firewall is opened but web server, still, isn't reachable from the net.
How can I check if apache is listening on right interface, port?
And, How can I check if DNS is confugured properly?

from your web server: nmap -sT localhost to see listening ports. Then try nmap from host outside your network. Have you tried connecting to apache by IP at port 80, 443 etc? To check DNS, do host FQDN and host IP addy to get back FQDN.
Can you acces the webserver from within your LAN?
If you can, you just need to set up your router to forward any requests coming from the internet, to the machine's ip address and port where the webserver is running.

Yes I can access the webserver from within my LAN but only by IP. Web server is on the same machine with firewall. But I still cann't access it from the net.

Let us know what happens once you forward the port on the router.

Can you please try nmap from outside for me?
Yes, I've tried connecting to apache by IP(62.221.52.196) and by FQDN(server.tenpostadsl.lviv.farlep.net) at port 80 and It's working, but only from my local network. I haven't tried from outside yet. Can you try from outside?
