Hey i have been looking on how to set up my computer to act as a server so people can view my site outside of my LAN.

I can't seem to figure out how to get this computer to work on the WWW, need help!

Thanks, Nick.

i believe that they will have to connect to your ip address that you are using with the appropriate port. you have to make sure the port isnt firewalled with software or a router. so it would be like [ort" rel="nofollow">YourIP]#

If you are behind a router you must forward ports to your computer. I believe its tcp 80 that you need to forward to your local ip adres. People then can look on your site when they type your public ip adres.

"I believe its tcp 80 that you need to forward to your local ip adres."

Is there a tutorial that shows how to do this?

Thanks for your help, Nick.
