You are accesing localhost , meaning you have a web server running on your machine. To access it from Internet, you need to assign a public IP address to your machine. Then you can access http://<public_ip>:<port>/ .
To access the server from itself, use http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/ . To access the server from a separate computer on the same network, use http://192.168.X.X where X.X is your server's local IP address. You can find the sever's local IP address (assuming it's Linux) by running hostname -I . 127.0.
There are couple of good free service that let you do the same. Ideal for showing something quickly for testing:
Edits:
You go into your router configuration and forward port 80 to the LAN IP of the computer running the web server.
Then anyone outside your network (but not you inside the network) can access your site using your WAN IP address (whatismyipcom).
Even though you didn't provide enough information to answer this question properly, your best shots are SSH tunnels (or reverse SSH tunnels).
You only need one SSH server on your internal or remote network to provide access to your local machine.
You can use PUTTY (it has a GUI) on Windows to create your tunnel.
use your ip address or a service like noip.com if you need something more practical. Then eventually configure your router properly so incoming connection will be forwarded to the machine with the server running.
