Before you go thinking about this any further you need access to the router's setup. In order for anyone on the internet to access your computer through a router a port forward needs to be setup.
For example, when you contact any webpage you are going to that computer's port 80. But if you are doing this and you are behind a router you are going to be contacting the router on port 80 and it will disregard the request. Unless it has been setup to take any port 80 requests and forward them along to its sub-ne...

You need to go to: http://192.168.1.1
That is your router's setup station. If it asks for a user and password, it is probably ADMIN:ADMIN.
You then need to obtain your "fake" (network) IP address. To do this, goto start->run, type in "command" and press enter. A little emulated DOS window should pop open. Type in "netstat -n". Your "fake" (or network) IP address will be something along the lines of 192.168.1.101.

Note that no page will show up until you install some sort of http server. I reccomend Apache 1.3.33. Very simple to use, and very powerful.
http://www.apache.com
Or you can use Microsoft's Internet Information Service (IIS) which is built into the NT versions of Windows (NT/2000/XP/2003). Just goto Add/Remove Programs->Add/Remove Windows Components->Select IIS and click on Details. Verify that World Wide Web Service is checked. Then install this compent.
You should now have a C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
Just put your webpages in there and you'll be good to go.
