forwarding port 80 to a computer on NAT

without jeopardizing browser use on others

Sup everyone

I have four computers, running off a Linksys BEFSX41 router, which is connected to the internet. our IPs: 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.104

i'm familiar with Port Forwarding on the router, i've had to do it for games, bittorrent, etc. etc. but now i want to run a temporary file and web server (just for a few weeks, while i'm touring Europe and Africa), but other people, while i'm gone, are going to be using the OTHER computers on my network. how would i forward port 80 to my server, without other computers on the network losing their browsing capabilities.

as far as i know, browsers use port 80 for HTTP, so if all computers are listening to port 80 for their web connections, so only my webserver in that case would have access to the internet, right?

How do i fix this problem? is there any way?

Browsers connect to port 80 on the remote computer. The browsers on your computers will connect from a "high" port (one over 1023) out to port 80. They won't be affected by you forwarding incoming packets heading for port 80.

I do this all the time.
