Sesame has a built-in web server which can serve web pages. These pages can, through inclusion of special tags, include data drawn from a Sesame database.

Is your machine behind a firewall and so you can't reach it from the outside world? Most internet router/gateways have a built in firewall. Also, most internet router/gateways have a DMZ port, allowing a machine to be placed on the internet side of the firewall.

It still may not be able to resolve the name of your server to locate where the request is meant to go. And so on and so on... Exposing a box to the internet requires a bit of setup.

Even if all of the firewall settings are disabled, most "internet routers" act as gateways, using address translation. To the outside world all of the computers on your network look like a single IP external address (usually assigned by your ISP). On your side of the gateway each of computers has an artificial local IP address (usually in the 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x ranges). To overcome this, you must either place your computer in the gateway's DMZ and get it a unique IP address, or use software like Hamachi that can "tunnel" through the gateway and assign a proxy for your computer out on the internet.

Or, your could get a web server that is actually out on the internet all the time. Some companies provide "virtual servers" and allow a great deal of freedom concerning what you run on them.
