How do I make my server available on the web

[Domo]

Hi,
I've just built a Win2008 server to run some application software. How can I run the app software remotely via http and RDP to the server's desktop?

Is it simply a matter of connecting it to my router - or are there port settings I need to configure etc?

Networks and stuff aren't my thing

Just checked logmein's web site and that's the show that fits
Nice one guys. Thanks.
