You have to use the router utility to find out what the ip address of the router is. You will also need to figure out port forwarding (check your router documentation) to forward requests to that ip address to your computers internal network address.
Better yet, upload the files to your webserver send you friend the url and let him download it from there. Once he's downloaded it delete it from your webserver. (Don't link the file to any pages on your website so nobody else will stumble on them while they are there.) Cheryl D.

In the past, it connected to cable-modem and then go to Internet. Although the IP address is dynamical, I can know it each time via "ipconfig". My friend can come and fetch the files in the wwwroot/ftproot. Now I installed a router. My winXP connects to router with a network cable and the router connects to cable-modem to Internet. I check my IP address by "ipconfig", it only tell me "192.168.2.102" without public address. In case of home network, can my friend come again to fetch the files in my PC? ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
