Basically...
I have a LAN that uses DCHP to assign IP addresses to each client computer. Standard IP is 192.168.1.X like lots of other people. In short I have this problem:

I can connect to servers, internet etc... but nothing seems to be able to access any form of server I may be hosting on my computer. E.g. Hosting websites, Hosting a multiplayer game's server, Hosting a radio station etc. I can access these servers from any client on my LAN but not remotely off of som1 elses computer using the internet!!!!

Stats
I have a Windows XP Pro SP2 Computer

[b]Um.. Any Help people???

You need to tell whatever is connected to the internet to forward traffic on the ports you want to the computer running the server.

find out what port the program you are trying to host with is using and forward anything comming from that port to the ip address you are using (browsers use 80, so for webserver, you would forward port 80 to your computer)


If I only had a cat...

first decide what port you are going to be using so u can foward it to your pc on your router and unblock it from your firewall

currently i have a server going just for experimentation and so others can see stuff i dont care enough to get dns and its on dialup so

here is my server(i will keep it going while i am online dont have a dedicated dialup line)
http://209.183.171.182 (edited already my ip changed)

so trust me i know about every type of server except for ancient (like telnet servers) and pop3/smtp
it had to take some skills to make free-space run(free-space is now an abandoned site i use to run that ran on ym own server and had dsl and free-space.myftp.org)

my avatar is working for the first time since free-space went down

your router has a setting page for "Port Forwarding", look there
