how can someone see my webserver if I have a wireless router ?

[wbsurfver]

Here is my question. I have a laptop and I run a ruby/rails based web
brick server which serves up html pages. I have emailed people a way to
access this webserver through a URL that looks sort of like:

http://201.120.126.203:1000/

I could be at a public library on a wireless connection, and as long as
my web server is running, people can get to my website. I figured out
the url through ipconfig. However, now I have a wireless router in my
condo, so my laptop is wireless through the router. The url I used
before doesn't work, and of course ipconfig shows a generic intranet or
whatever ip address for my local area network. Is there anyway I can
still have someone get to my website on my laptop ?

I suppose I could unplug the router and plug the laptop in if I want to
show someone something particular, but the cable modem seems to take a
while to reset and doing it like that of course is kind of a pain
anyway.

Additionally he needs to set configure his router to either place his
laptop in the DMZ or set up the laptop as virtual server.

This is OT in c.l.r. F'up set to microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web
