You'll need to find out what TCP/IP address your ISP has assigned you (this
should be available in your router's information/configuration utility) and
have others connect to this address. If it's a dynamic address (it changes
every so often) you'll either need to get a static address from your ISP,
have your friends use the updated address when it changes, or check out a
dynamic DNS service that will track your IP address and connect it to a
constant name that others will use instead of the IP address.
