title: simple server in C
body: <p>I created a simple TCP/IP server in c and it runs smoothly from my Linux machine. I can connect as localhost:80 as well as from different machines, but I obviously have to use the lab computer's IP.</p>
  
  <p>My question is: how do I run a server form my own Mac OS X machine, let's say, and connect to it form outside? Not sure how to properly ask the question... how to assign a specific IP to my server? Sorry, I am still exploring this field!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
