[thelist] setting up "localhost"

[Andrew Moore]

Generally, you can set up your DSL/cable modem to pass port 80 through
to your machine. Then, give you friends the IP address on the outside
of your DSL/cable modem. (or use some kind of dynamic DNS service to
point a hostname to it.)

Hope it helps.
