As you have DSL service you probably have a dynamic IP address as opposed to a static IP address, So you will have to use the service such as DynDns in order for traffic to be routed to your server. Visit www.dyndns.org and they will be able to set up an account to take care of the routing problem for you. Of course if you have a static IP address you won’t need to worry about this but you will need to check with your internet service provider to see if you are violating the terms of service by hosting your own web site.

Your ISP may block port 80 (http), so if it does not work outside your network, change the port to something such as 8080. Then the address will look like http://130.xx.xx.xx:8080/index.html.
