yeah I know about the built in web service and can use it on the local lan.
if we had a dynamic IP it would be easy but considering we have a static ip how do I go about setting it up that I can acces it from somewhere else?
Please if you dont mind explaing to me how to do it.

I think you got the static/dynamic the wrong way around...
actually that
was the first hurdle I had to get over. I dont have a fixed (static) IP, so it changing all the time was a bit of a problem. I suppose it doesnt change that much anymore, thank goodness, but still, if there is a power failure or something... chances are it will aqquire a different IP
go to
http://www.no-ip.com/downloads.php , register for free and download the np-ip DUC client. its easy to setup, really easy.
basically you just link a domain name to your machine. the client, which needs to be running on the PC running uTorrent, will send the current IP to no-ip.org and bobs your uncle.
So you get URL that will stay the same, and as long as you have the DUC client running, it will sync with no-ip, and send you to the corrent IP.
for example mine is,
http://richardtheunissen.no-ip.org:XXXXX/gui/index.html where XXXXX is my port number. It nice, you dont need to forward additional ports for this, you can use the same port that you are already using... assuming you are using port forwarding.
hope this helps
