Hey all,
Well I finally made the transition to linux today (Ubuntu) and so far so good! Anyhow I've spent most of today setting up an Apache web server on my computer and everything seems to have worked out fine. Since I'm behind a router I had to figure out how to forward my external ip to my local computer ip and that worked out fine too. Finally I got my domain name to pick up the ip address so all's swell.
The one issue I have now though is that I have this web server on my computer now but at the same time on my network I have a dreambox (satellite receiver box) that's also broadcasting. Now I've changed the router settings to forward to the local ip of the dreambox and it works perfectly as well: I can view what I should be able to through my browser. The only problem now is that both my server on my computer and the dreambox use port 80 so that I can view cotent through my browser. However, I can only naturally foward port 80 from outside to one internal ip in my network.
So basically my question is if I can get around this by perhaps routing the dreambox local ip through my computer server somehow or if I can change my web server somehow so that I can access both the dreambox and web server through my browser. To clarify, I don't want to change anything on the dreambox since that's my dad's territory and if I screw that up he's have me for breakfast  I can though mess around with my own computer naturally 
Something even as simple as html code that would redirect me to the local ip of the dreambox so that I can have a page to view the dreambox page would be great. I don't know if that is theoretically even possible.
Anyhow any suggestions would be appreciated.
