most likely not.

but i would suggest getting a Switch instead. they retain ips better on macs and they send the info directly to that computer instead of all computers as a router does.

with mac os x it is super simple to use your computer as a web host. though installing things such as php and mysql dont always work right for people like me.

just go to system prefs. Sharing. and enable the internet sharing. once you do this. right below it will tell you the default address that the computer gives your website based on ip or an address based on your isp address.
