O.K.

you need a domain name that will point to your website. If you have one then all you need to do is update you dns records to point to your external IP address.

Once you have set this up then you will need to map port 80 incoming on your router to the internal IP that your computer is using.

First things first - Do you have a domain name you can use ?
