Hi guys
I need to set up a windows 7 pc as a webserver. It is not for a website directly, but more so to host a file so mobile devices can see it from outside the local network.
I have done something similar but I'm sure I am missing some steps out.
So far I have set up a no-ip address as the business has a dynamic ip setup. I have also forwarded port 80 from the router to the pc.
What other steps need to be taken? I have done some googling but there are many ways of doing it, some using third party software and some say windows 7 has this built in.
So, what am I missing out and is there an easier way?
And once its done, what security measures should be done to secure it?
Thanks!
