Sorry but your question is not clear. Please edit and add further details.

By definition, you can't access "localhost" over the internet - it means exactly what the name says, the HOST on the LOCAL machine. If you have a webserver on your local machine, you need to know its external (public) IP address. In most cases you will need mapping in your router to route the public IP address to the IP address of your machine on the local network. You'll need to open firewalls etc to allow http traffic in (on whatever port you want to use). But as it stands your question doesn't really mean anything - sorry!

If you want to "go on the internet" and back to "local", you need to actually use your "dynamic IP address" (instead of the "local"). So, use 2 computers.

BTW, the "SLAMMER" worm infected SQL Servers running on a unprotected dynamic IP / port.
