I always config router / port forwarding, when I try to build a local web server IIS7 / Apache.

But this time, I don't have access to control router, we have any software, any ways can help to build a local web server without port forwarding / config router ?

( sorry, if just a stupid question, but I want to know :D )

If the router happens to have UPnP enabled you can configure the port forwarding without admin access! codeproject.com/KB/IP/PortForward.aspx there are also various tools and a windows component to configure this. – shiznit123 Sep 1 '11 at 19:03

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

If your computer has a publicly routeable IP, and there is no firewall enabled on the router, or between the web server and the Internet, then you don't need to do anything.
