how do i set up a share across the public internet.

i have a pc connecte to the web via adsl / easynet

I want to connect / allow another PC connected to the web via BTopenworld.

My PC is connected to 4 others on an internal network via a wireless router - so i know how to do that..

but not with the world outside.....
 
Do you have a static IP on the internet...??? If not I would look into Dynamic DNS.. (Hint Zoneedit.com) Do you have a firewall in front of your network. If so install some sort of FTP server on the pc you want to share files from. Open port 21 -->> direct it to the internal IP of your FTP server and away you go!
