I've tried searching online for this -- is it somehow possible to open up the localhosted server python's SimpleHTTPServer creates to computers outside of my network?

Thanks for your help, EL3PANTEN -- could you explain a bit what you mean here? When I enter my IP address into the browser from another computer off my network, it goes nowhere – David Yang Jul 02 '14 at 21:34

If you are on your local network, You usually enter 192.168.1.1 To get into the router settings. User: admin, passwd: admin.. In advanced settings you forward the local ip of your server. For example 192.168.1.100 or whatever your local server machine is. Ususally you can see it in the settings, wich ip adresses are connected. – el3ien Jul 02 '14 at 21:58

Also you shall know that you cannot connect to your external ip while on local network. You must use proxy server to test it.. hidemyass.com for example – el3ien Jul 02 '14 at 21:59
