I have built the arduino html webserver project. but my question is how can I get it to access this via the Internet from anywhere in the world.
I have an ADSL connection (no static IP).
can I make this happen (without Pachube)?
The most common method is to incorporate a dynamic IP service like no-ip.com to handle changing ip address assignments.
And
Dynamic DNS is a good start. It will allow remote access to the Internet-facing IP address of your router.
The next step is to set up your router for port mapping. As far as the Internet is concerned, your entire house is one computer. When making outgoing connections from your computer on your local LAN to the Internet the router acts as a proxy. When connection attempts come from the Internet it is your router that decides what to do with them. To allow access to a web server on the LAN your router has to know what port to accept connections on and what LAN address and port to send them to. For example if your LAN server is at http://192.168.1.5:8080/ you can just have the router forward Port 80 (http default) connections to 192.168.1.5 port 8080. Then anyone trying to get to the http port of your house will actually be connected to the http port of your Arduino.

Should that be :-

Yes, by "your LAN server" I mean the device on your LAN that is acting as a server (in this case an Arduino acting as a web server).
Is it possible to forward port 80 /default http/ to port 80 on LAN? /arduino http server listen on port 80/

What kind of forwarding does your router support?
I have Assus RT-N13 and there are the following options:FTP,TELNET,SMTP,DNS,FINGER,HTTP,POP3,SNMP,SNMP TRAP
I set:
Enable Virtual Server? Yes
Famous Server List: HTTP
Service Name Port Range Local IP Local Port Protocol Protocol No.
HTTP Server 80 192.168.1.4 80 TCP
I thinks you should do in this way:
- register dyndns
- put dyndns on your router and check if is correct authenticate
- open the port that you want use
- then you need to create a rule on your router that forward all the traffic that arrive on your dyndns on the local arduino
and that it,

FYI: Many ISPs (and more every day) are blocking inbound requests to port 80 to residential (non-commercial) account ip addresses. You might want to stay with a port from 8080 to 8088 for your server. That is usually not blocked.
