I dont know how to access 'mywebserver' running on my own PC from remote location (i.e any PC connected to internet)??? I tried in the address bar of web browser folloing things...

2)http://A.B.C.D. where A.B.C.D is IP address of my PC(got from 'ipconfig' command)

This is not the right newsgroup for this question. I don't know which one is.

The only advice I have for you is that A, B, C, and D should be the same for case 1 and case 2. You may need to start your connection to the Internet up BEFORE you start your webserver.

After that, the address from ipconfig should get you connected from any location, unless your ISP blocks access to port 80, or you are running a firewall or NAT box or whatever.

Please don't follow up to this newsgroup. Maybe try one of the public Microsoft newsgroups.
