Start a Web Server on a internet through a router?
you need to open a port on your router - look in the menus for something like all port 80 requests are forwarded to ---------- and you put the local IP address of your machine hosting the webpage
Your ISP gives you a new IP address each time you log on so you need something like this

That tracks your IP address changes
If you have more than one machine linking to your router you must also make sure your server receives the same ip address each time
