I am one that likes to do to learn. Well I am getting a PHD on this project. I run a small business, and want to access my home computer from the office. I know there are other ways, but for many reasons, too long to list, I want to do it this way. I set up the home PC as a web server. I had done the same thing two years ago, with all the same SW & HW, using it as a web server for family pictures, and such. Worked out just great. Now, the only thing that has changed is my home, additional security protection for viruses and such - you know, and probably one or two MS SW upgrades. BTW I use, don't laugh, Windows 98 (I have my reasons)
I made it so my IP address does not change (same as two years ago). I can access the web page from the same computer (SW is functioning). But I cannot access from another computer outside my in-home network. It is probably something to do with security settings, but I don't know my way around enough to know what to look for.
