title: How do I make my xampp server public using my public ip address?
body: <p>I have just installed xampp 1.7.7. I need to know what I need to do in order to make my website public using my public IP address (not 192.168.xxx.xxx) Also, I am behind a router (NETGEAR WPN824v3). I do have a dynamic IP address, but I have reserved the IP via my router. My operating system is Windows 7 Professional x64.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Do I need port forwarding? --> If so, what is the server IP (won't let me choose anything besides 192.168.xxx(cannot change).xxx(needs to be entered manually))? and what is the start port and end port?</li>
  <li>What other changes do I need to make to make my website public without using:
  127.0.0.1, 192.168.xxx.xxx,localhost,etc....</li>
  <li>How do I configure a domain name (from DOT TK)?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Please give me a step-by-step detailed list of instructions on how to do this and don't refer me to other websites please!</p>
