The most common way would be to use port forwarding setup in your router to
map a certain port to a web or ftp server internally.

The router has the only externally addressable IP, your PC's have internal
IP addresses.

You really need to get the manual for your router out and have a look how to
setup port forwarding. Then you need to set up a http or ftp server on one
of your PC's.

ukha_networking group on yahoo.
