    Okay I need some help... I just set up a WAMP Server and I want to be able to host my webpage from here.
    I am behind a firewall.
    I already set my IP as DMZ Host... What else do I need to do so that my site is viewable through my IP Address?

    You failed to mention if the firewall is yours or not. Is it a soho router, a Cisco type or a software firewall? Depending on whether or not you can access it/program it will depend on your course of action. Either way it sounds like you are at a private IP address. If so you will have to set up port triggering or port fowarding on the firewall. Users will still type the IP to the router and the router will foward requests for port 80 on to your internal IP. Im not sure what you are using for a web server either, IIS or Apache. Another issue you may have with residencial internet is your IP will chance, if not sooner than later and that will effect how users atempt to get on your web site. There are techniques to use to map a domain name to an IP that changes but lets stick to the basics for now.

    Hosting your Website on a machine inside your LAN behind your firewall is critical!!!

    If there is another way, don't do that!
