[ale] Accessing Server without Domain Name

[Geoffrey]

You probably need to tell your Router/Firewall where to send the port 80 
packets it's receiving.

It is probably doing NAT and therefore each of your machines connected 
to the device is provided an internal private ip.

This should be configurable in your router/firewall toy.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
