well i find that EasyPHP is a great way to run a website off your own computer, its is designedfor develupment, but it should be good for a small website:)

it includes PHP and MySQL

http://www.easyphp.org/telechargements.php3

just install the latest version, and put your website in the www folder on your computer, then you can access it via http://127.0.0.1/

if you want to let the rest of the world access it you need to modify the apache settings and thats not too hard:

once its installed and running right click on the icon in your system tray, go to: configuration >> apache

look for:
code:
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, in addition to the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
#Listen 3000
Listen 127.0.0.1:80

enter "Listen", your own ip address, then ":80" right below that line

save the file and your done, every body should now be able to view your site from your ip address

edit: if you're behind a router, see my post below

i'm sorry, i don't know what yoru refuring to, i know that 192.168.x.x are local ips (ie behind a router, and in that case, you would set up port forwarding on your router for port 80, to your computer and enter your routers ip, thats what i have done)

You need a connection with a good UPSTREAM (uploads) somethign like 34mbits per second, the minimum, so that everybody can connect easily..Then, it can take much bandwidth, even if your connection is slow when it comes to uploads..
