Connecting a development site to the internet

[Felix]

Excuse my ignorance....

I've been merrily playing with and learning CMSMS for a while, which I installed along with XAMPP to provide the PHP and MYsql services.  To log on to the site I normally browse to //server2/cmsms.  Today I tried to connecting my site to the internet, so I could view it as others would, instead of just on my home LAN. 

I have a DYNDNS domain and simply reset the router to point to the second server and have been disappointed because the only page that I can view from the internet is the XAMPP page.  I tried using a web proxy server as well as dial-up to ensure that I was genuinely viewing my site from the internet, so I know that the problem isn't a LAN one.

I've tried:
Changing the Document Root path
Changing the Server Root path
Creating a new folder in htdocs and calling it the same name as my domain

I've also searched Google looking for a solution.

Anyone know how to make this work?

Assuming you setup a DynDNS Host service and not just a webhop the link http://yourhost.dyndns.org/cmsms/ should point to your CMSMS installation. Why can't you view that page, are you getting error messages?

config.php should be modified with the new URL's:
$config['root_url']
$config['uploads_url']
$config['image_uploads_url']
