Do you really tell them "192.168.1.101"? That is a designated private address, which you are properly using on a private network. It is not visible to the Internet.

How do your 3 computers connect to the Internet? You probably have a broadband router from Linksys, Netgear or something like that.

You probably need to:
1. Configure your router to pass http from the outside to your server.
2. Determine your public IP address. Visit "

http://whatismyip.com"

from one of your computers to find out.
3. Tell your friends to use that address.
