I recently installed the forum and I can access it as well as another computer on my home network. But when I give my ip to someone to get to the forum it gives this message:

Someone please help! Thanks.

Erm ... I guess your on a fixed line connection and with a fixed IP address, otherwise - give up now! (ok it is possible, but not so easy!)

If your running a home network then your router (for your cable or dsl connection?) must be forwarding on requests to port 80 to the internal IP address of your network ...
Your router is probably 192.168.0.1 and your PC could be 192.168.0.2 with the other PC 192.168.0.3 (as an example). When your router receives requests from the internet on port 80 (web pages) it doesn't know what to do with it. It doesn't have any webpages to display itself and sure as hell doesn't know which PC on the LAN it should send the request to ... so you have to tell it.

Please bear in mind that by port forwarding you are opening up your PC for hacking attempts and more vunerable to Virus attacks ...

You'd be better finding a free ASP host (search on this forum) for your board.
