If your machine only has an internal IP, then you need to portforward any request to the router, comming form the outside to port 80, onto your internal IP, else your machine havn't got a chance to even know anyone is trying to contact it from the outside.

::EDIT::
Sorry didn't close read your first post, if the problem is, that you can't access it from another machine on the internal net, then you need to make sure the http-server is configured to accept connection from any net interface on the machine.

In apache this is depending on the info in the "BindAddress" setting, if this is set to localhost, then only connections requesting localhost will be accepted. For any interface, either comment this out, or set it to *

And make sure the "Port" setting is specified to 80.
