You need to access your router's web-based setup screen. For D-Link routers, it's usually accessed by going to the address 192.168.0.1 in your web browser. For Linksys routers, that address is usually 192.168.1.1. For other brands, you'd have to consult the manual that came with the router.

Then, it's a matter of finding the "port forwarding" section (it's different for every router, so you'll have to look around or consult the docs) and adding your computer's IP address and port into the correct fields.

After that, you're done -- access your web server by your external IP address, as described above.
