O.P. Making my pc to a Server?
I just want to straight out some things...
Let's supose i want to host something in my pc(my connection speed doesnt matter, i'm just stating this out)..
Question nš1:I use a router(wireless, prolley doesnt matter), so if i enter my IP in a browser, i'll go to my router firmware, which is my first barrier to access my pc, 'cause the IP doesnt connect to my pc directly...How do i solve this?
Question nš2:After i pass my router, will i be able to setup a domain name, without paying, using this program : http://www.simpledns.com/, as someone stated today, in one of their posts(cant remember who:S)....

P.S- I know i have to install a server in my pc...

Thanks for your answers:P

you need to connect to the routers options by directing IE or firefox to the routers ip/dns address

then you need to set the router up to allow access

What do you mean?
I'm using a Linksys router...if anyone knows their firmware, please help me:P

I've been searching the firmware and i found one option to enable 'DMZ Hosting' and then to specify the internal adress which should be enabled...is that it?

Well i've enabled that DMZ Hosting thing, and inserted my internal ip adress...now when i enter my IP in the browser, it says it cant find it, and if i disable the DMZ Hosting thingy, when i enter the IP, i go to my routers firmware...so that's improving...my server is already running, i just dont know why it gets blank when i enter the ip...

GAH What the hell

OK

Forget DMZ, is has NOTHING to do with it.

If you want to see your website you connect to http://localhost. If you want other people to, they visit http://yourip

However, your router will drop the incoming connection attempt on port 80 because it doesn't know where to send it.  So you need to forward port 80 to your INTERNAL IP (start => run => cmd => ipconfig, "IP address").

To configure your router you connect to it (as you've been doing) and login, then it'll be in the NAT/NAPT section, probably next to uPnP.

Once that's done, you run software on your PC to update your IP on the freedns server if it happens to change.

The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.
