Can't see my page from outside the network.

Hi, I have recently installed Apache 2.0.48 on a WinXP Pro, and while I am
able to access my webpages by typing in localhost, 127.0.0.1, or the IP of
the network card on the machine, I am not able to see the pages when typing
in the IP of the router, either inside or outside the LAN.
I have a cable modem with dynamic IP, a DSL/Cable router with port 80
forwarded to the machine(or the network card, more precisely) above.
I set Apache to listen to port 80 on all network cards, also tried just that
one card (192.168.3.12), and the address of the router (24.50.79.160 at this
moment, and probably will remain the same for several days), but non works.
Can someone help me out? Thanks in advance.

Are you sure your ISP doesn't block access to port 80?

Cable Co. may have 80 blocked, either for security or to stop you from
running a server. Can you access other ports? Telnet, SMTP, FTP? You may
need to run on an alternate http port like 8080, 8088, or even 81 to get
around it if blocked.

I am having a similar problem with the same version of apache, everthing is
fine from inside the network but when I use a dial up or anyone outside the
network trys it you get ..

Server Error
The following error occurred:
[code=SERVER_RESPONSE_RESET] The server response could not be read because
of an error. Contact your system administrator.
Please contact the administrator.

My ISP does NOT block any ports so I am lost as to what the problem is.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers Si,
