What server? What operating system? What firewalls? is there a router?

You *really* gave very little to go on.

You still didn't say what server software. It's quite possible that McAffee
is blocking it. Make sure it's configured properly to allow inbound
connections on port 80, TCP.

You want to access a folder? As in a shared folder within a windows
network?

If this is what you have, you cannot simply access a folder just
because it is shared from an external pc.

The easiest thing to do in this situation is to set up a small FTP
server program on the machine; then you simply logon to the FTP
location, and voila- access to your folder.

I recommend LiteServe or BulletFTP - im fairly certain that the first
is free, and the latter is shareware.
