First of all the IP Address you have 10.1.1.177 is private, it means that, this can only be recognized and accessible within the same domain not from the PC which is not part of your home network.
So for accessing your PC from any remote site, you have to determine your Public IP address, that is, your Router's IP Address, then you have to forward your port number (which is 80 in your case, but it might be different if you manually select some other port number). For understanding of port forwarding and router's working, the links below maybe helpful:
