question about registered domain names and apache

Hello,

I have installed apache webserver, Mantis and the other required software. I am able to access Mantis from any computer on my network by typing the IP address and directory into a browser.
However, I am unable to access Mantis from the internet (any other computers outside of my network). My question is, do I have to get a registered domain name to access Mantis from the Internet?

Thank you in advance.

From what you've said, it appears you've only placed Mantis on your intranet.

In order to make it accessible to the Internet, you will need to either:
1) Open up your intranet to the internet, or
2) Place Mantis on a publicly accessible web server.

In either case, you will need to get a registered domain name to let people find you.
