You will have turn on Port Forwarding (sometimes also known as "Virtual Server" and other things, depends on the manufacturer of your router) using your router setup - mostly this is done via the web browser.
You can tell your router to forward any request on, for example, port 80 (which is the port used for the HTTP protocol) to the private IP of your Mac. So, say your *real* IP (the one assigned by your net provider) is 227.18.67.12, and the DHCP server within your router has assigned 192.168.1.10 to your Mac, then you can configure your router to forward any outside request on port 80 for IP 227.18.67.12 (ie. if anyone anywhere in the world types 227.18.67.12 in their web browser) to your Mac at private IP 192.168.1.10, so that they see what you're hosting on that Mac.
Did any of this make sense? :-)

Hey Tuqqer,
I have found half of the answer to our question. On the page
http://discussions.info.apple.com/WebX?14@142.W4draZqZbt8.13@.599e8fbc/0
They will tell you how to know your IP.
(by going on the website http://www.whatismyip.com/ )
However, there is still a problem: This IP is actually the one of your router, not of your computer. So how to configure the router so that it fowards any incomming traffic on the port 2000 to the computer?
I don't have an answer to that yet, but as soon as i have it, I will post it here.
It would be great: I would finally find some use to the Apache server that comes with OSX.
If I ever find out, of course...
Best regards, Daniel.

Feature requests: Configurable port and forced periodic refreshing at a configurable interval so the end user doesn't have to continually hit refresh.
Even so, this is great software. I highly recommend it.
PS: Don't forget to open port 2000 on your firewall or people will not be able to connect to you if you are behind one.
