Hey all, Chaos is here :D

Anyway, heres my question:
I've just network up with my dad. I've setup my dad as the host (of course im the client) :eek: . We have ICS enabled (Internet Connection Sharing) and we have a Aclatel SpeedTouch USB Modem. I've managed to get it all working, etc...

Now, I have an Apache server (on my machine (client)), with my website on it but how can other people view it?
I've tried my Internet IP, which doesnt work because my dad has the modem :(
I've also tried my network IP, it works BUT only people on my network can see it (because it's an network IP:p )

So, how do I get other people to see my site? :confused:

Thanks for all help!

Basically you have 2 options..

1. Request another ip from your isp and get it setup so your machine uses this ip address.

2. Get a port mapping program running on his computer and map port 80 of your local ip (your computer) to port 80 on his computer. All requests for 80 will then be tunneled to your computer via his computer first.
