Have you registered your domain? Have you forwarded ports? Have you configured the nameservers ....

This is something moderately advanced if you don't have the necessary experience. You will need to access your network gateway and manipulate the configuration. This might help http://www.wikihow.com/Port-Forward

Please note that if you're using the default configuration of WAMP, it's not secure and you shouldn't open it to the public. As the old manual said (http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,22282,22320):
Quote
WARNING: WAMP was designed to be a testing and development server, not an actual production server. WAMP does not come with any real security in place so it offers no protection from any kind of attack. Any 10 year old with access to the internet can easily hack your WAMP server. If your website(s) have highly sensitive data (such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, user ids, passwords, etc.), you need to take this in consideration before your put this information online. Unless you are an experienced system administrator and can configure WAMP to be more secure, you should never user WAMP for a production server.
