Running a server from your personal computer

It is very tempting to be able to run a variety of servers from your
personal computer that is connected to the Internet via DSL or Cable

The freely available servers include

Unreal media server
Unreal live server
VNC server

To use these servers you have to know a few basic things

First it is nice to have a fixed IP address
Then you should know how to create an opening in the router firewalls

The router firewall is generally accessed by using a web browser
and entering the address Http://192.168.2.1

Look for virtual servers
Make an opening for the server port

In the windows firewall make an exception for the server exe files

Then you have to find out the Wide Area IP address of your computer
This may change every day if it is not a fixed IP address

If you have two or three computers connected to your router
you may have to figure out for variouss

subaddresses

Enjoy
