Accessing localhost from INTERNET

[Mr.LLB]

Hey people,

I currently have a localhost server setup on my computer using the Apache/PHP and necessary programs. My question is, How can I access this localhost server from the internet while sitting at work, library, elsewhere. I know if it was a direct connection, I could type in my IPaddress, however, I have a router (D-LINK). I think I need to open up some sort of a port or w.e.

Help will be greatly appreciated!

when you say work, library or elsewhere am assuming you at not in your house which means you won't be able even via IP. because localhost it's just local (on your machine) and wasn't meant to be accessed over the net, if you really want to, buying a domain name is your choice.
