What you're looking for, in config terms, is something like "Port
forwarding", "internet servers" or "applications and gaming" in your
router's control system. You need to set it up to forward port 80
(http) through to the computer running the web server. Without knowing
more about it I can't give more detailed help.

This is more of a home networking issue rather than a web autboring
issue. I'd suggest asking in the appropriate comp.* group (I'm
assuming that there is one dedicated to home networking). You'll need
to give details of what make and model the router is, as well as
explaining how you've currently got it configured.
