Set your router to forward port 80 to your web server's local ip, then access your web server with your router's WAN ip address. You can use http://whatsmyip.org/ to find out your WAN address.

I've been searching for a way to programtically get my public IP from my router. After much research th eonly thing I came up with was going to a site like privacy.net and returning the value it reads. What I'd like to do is compile this into my .chm I give my remote users.

My code starts a TCP/IP socket listener and waits for incoming connections. This works fine on my system and my test system but I have a customer who say it does not work on their system. As far as I can tell the problem is they are using a DSL modem with a router internal to it. So basically my software is listening to IP address 10.0.0.3 but the external connection is trying to connect to xx.xx.xx.xx on the internet which in concept...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
