hi,,

is it possible to make a simple server by using my laptop that is connected to the internet via wireless connection to the internet at my home?

sorry if the question is silly...
Thanks

It won't be particularly useful unless you laptop is always on. You may need to use a service like dyndns if you don't have a static public IP
