I had a server in a hosting company and I took it home. I need to connect him to a local network (not wifi) and access to the server from another computer in the network via browser, like I did it when it was in the hosting company. I don't have any knowledge in linux, I just know how to type in the command line :) I thinks all the IP configuration of the server is one big mess, because it passed from more then one hosting company to another...
I tried a lot of tutorials that I found in the web, but nothing works - mainly because I don't know how to check if I did something wrong.
I just need to know how to connect to local network ( D-Link router) and then access the server from another computer browser. thanks
update: the server os is: CentOS release 4.8 (Final)

@user1732451 turn it on with a monitor connected and watch the boot process; no matter what OS it's running, you'll need an admin or root account. If you know that it's Linux, just google for "which linux version" and you'll see plenty of instructions on how to determine what distro/version you're running – ernie – 2012-10-09T23:18:26.930
The server is connected to a monitor and I have the username and password of the root account. I typed 'uname -a' and got:
