RFC 1918 specifies certain networks as internal, i.e., not routable to the Internet-at-large. These networks are 10/24, 172.16/20 and 192.168/16. Thus, anything you put up on 192.168.0.7 is visible to your internal network, which is presumably also 192.168.something.something, but not visible to the Internet because your direct upstream router shouldn't route these packets. Furthermore, any request I make for them from *my* internal network won't get out to the Internet to even get near to your computer.

The upshot is, you'll need to upload it to somewhere with an externally routable IP address.

I'm back at the G5 but there is a problem on one of the boxes so I need to fix that first before I look into cygwin.
