Check that your router is connected to your Internet modem using an Ethernet cable. This may be a cable, DSL or satellite Internet modem, depending on the type of Internet service you have.
Connect the router to your computer using an Ethernet cable. Most routers will have four ports to connect computers to. These ports are usually numbered, one through four, in a row in the back. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into any of those four ports and the other end into the Ethernet port on your computer.
Turn on your modem, router and desktop computer, in that order. Windows will automatically configure your Internet connection.
Run an Internet browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox or Google Chrome. You will find a browser in your start menu under “All Programs”. Internet Explorer comes with all copies of Windows.
Type the address of any site into the address bar of the browser. You can now enjoy the Internet.

How to Make My Own Web ServerIn Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
If you don't have a high-speed Internet connection, secure one with a local provider in your area.
Secure your own domain name. This will help people get to and from your files on the Internet. This will also give you a place to send and receive email. If you do not have a static web address (if you have cable or DSL connection, you probably will not have a static address) there are several places you can go to secure your domain. Check the resources section.
Get your router. Use a regular router, because wireless routers are not suggested for home server set-ups. Your router should have Ethernet jacks and should be capable of port forwarding in order to allow outside Internet traffic.
Set up your computer. Make sure that you have your standard computer items including a keyboard, mouse, and a 10/100 Ethernet Network Card. Make sure to have an uninterrupted power supply to keep your system safe in the event of a power outage.
To configure your web server, you should start system-config services. Make sure that httpd and mysqld are started and selected to start on boot, then save the service configuration.
Verify that your web server is working correctly by opening a browser and pointing it at http://localhost/ (which always points to the web server on your computer). You should see the test page for apache, the web server application.
Set up port forwarding as directed by your router. Make sure that all http services or port 80 traffic is sent to the IP address of your web server.
