Ok. I can view my apache web server fine from inside my network but not from outside. I have port 80 forwarded on my router to the correct ip address. What else should I check.

First things I'd check are that you don't have access from non-local ips blocked by a firewall rule on the host. Also might be worth checking that you service provider doesn't block inbound port 80 (some do).

ISP doesn't block that port. I have no firewall set on the webserver.

Then next step would be to prove that port forwarding is/isn't working. Look in the apache logs for you external access requests. If you don't see anything then try sniffing traffic to see if anything is even getting back to your box.

Ok. I am thinking my isp lied to me and they are blocking port 80. I ran a portscan on my ip and all the common ports show up as being closed to the world. I will just have to change it to a different port.
