What commands allow network traffic to pass through PIX firewalls?

I am setting up a PIX 515 (version 8.0.2) firewall and need to allow public access to the internal Web server through the outside interface. The outside interface (WAN) is receiving a DHCP address from the ISP and the inside interface (LAN) is static. What commands will allow traffic to pass through?

Well, you only need to setup HTTP port 80 forwarding from the outside to the inside. Since your WAN interface is DHCP enabled, you will have to communicate the change in the WAN IP address to your Web server users, so that they can get to the same.
