I think it's possible. I think it's a matter of setting up your PC as a webserver. But don't quote me on that one, i've never tried to do this before.

There's also a program called "Orb" which let's you access your multimedia from your pc through webpages. I've haven't been able to set it up properly though, but it might be worth a look.

I suppose it would work if you gave your PC a static internal IP, and then used that as part of your URL.

Dude, desi is on the right path. Can you usually access your routers setup through the browser?

If u have a static ip address, i assume all u need is a copy of apache or something and simply type your ip address into the bar of the browser. eg 123.123.123.123/

Edit: ok, just did it, you need to install apache, from www.apache.org, then edit the httpd.conf file (available from start->programs->apache web server->configure apache server) to reference where you'd like to serve your files from.
so if you have all your stuff from d:/Stuff, you should change the line:<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"> to <Directory "D:/Stuff"> and the line DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs" to DocumentRoot "D:/Stuff".
I recommend installing it so it starts manually and is accessed from port 8080, it will ask u during the install.
then go to start->run, type cmd, enter, then type ipconfig, and write down your IP Address.
So now simply click on the "Start Apache in Console" link in the start menu, put an index.html in "D:/Stuff", and access by going to your web browser and going http://[ip address here]:8080

PS. ANY computer connected to the internet can be a server, this is the point of the internet. It is just slower (and can chew through quotas if your not careful).
