thats what i would want to know... what exactly do you plan to do with a web server?
you do know that doing the same is likely to make your system more prone to possible web attacks?
are you capable of ensuring the safety of your machine once you open it to the web as a web server?
opera unite is a safer solution easier to implement. you can share files, run a website hosted on your computer, do a lot more. look into it. it's a safe option and you can turn it off by closing down the browser.
