I did it before.
1. setup the http port on your router (say, port:7000)
2. under your 'apach2/conf', edit the file 'httpd.conf' and change the
line 'Listen 12.34.56.78:80' to 'Listen 7000'
3. http://your_comcast_dsl_wam_ip:7000/~yourname/
Hope it works for you too.

That ssh thing would probably work pretty well but I would not like to

unless we have problems again and my roommate decides to confess)...
As for other online album services - I have 2.5 GB of pictures, which
A) I doubt they can handle, and B) even if they can, I'd rather not
have to upload them through any sort of interface they would provide.
Also, videos.
What I've set up on my machine lets me just drop the files off of my
camera into a directory and then access a web page and it's all set
up. I would really prefer to keep the convenience of that. It makes
taking pictures and maintaining them a really simple thing that
honestly takes almost no time at all.
I know, I'm probably asking for too much considering my options, but
it just sucks because I really liked this idea and it just isn't going
to work legitimately.

Have you considered posting your pictures at some place like
www.snapfish.com or www.winkflash.com, which are oriented towards
digital photo printing, but also offer online albums?
BTW, read the terms and conditions carefully. I just checked and saw
snapfish requires you to "access the service", i.e. have a print made,
at least once a year...which might not be so bad, after all...

I didn't tell them that I was running Linux, personally, that was my

Apparently it violates the ToS to run a web server (which I didn't
know when we signed up for it), so that was the problem. Of course
this has nothing to do with Linux, except that now I have this
excellent photo gallery that I made that I can't even reasonably use
because 1) I practically need root access to install it anywhere, and
2) I have about 2.5 GB of pictures, which doesn't even include the
thumbnails.
GRRR. GRRR GRRR GRRR.
:/
Oh well, on the bright side at least I can view it on my own
machine...
