Default How to host off your own computer

I have setup WAMP so I can test things at http://localhost obviously but I want to know how to make whatever files that are there on the internet. I know it would have HORRIBLE speed rates because it would run off my connection here but anyone know how?

you need to to know you ip address, and ensure you web server is running.
If you punch up you ip addy in the url bar then it will connect to you sever.

You may need to forward port 80 to the machine running the computer, if you are behind a router

Also if you have a dynamic IP address i would reccomend using something like www.no-ip.org , where you create an account, download some software and then you will have a subdomain, like myname.no-ip.org which will forward to you IP address, and saves you teh trouble of having to remember a bunch of numbers

yeah, no-ip is a great utility... search google for some good web/ftp servers.
