Thanks People, I had it working fine on internal stuff (ie when I typed
127.0.0.1 I got the apache test page)
So I called a friend and had him type in my ip address into his browser
and he saw it, so it works, Iguess there must be a problem with the
request going out through my router then back in. I wonder if a router
upgrade would help?

    By "opened up port 80", do you mean you are DNATing so that packets
    arriving at your WAN-facing interface requesting a connection on port 80
    get their header munged so that the destination IP is overwritten with the
    destination IP of the server on your LAN and forwarded?
    
    Many people on this list have complained loud and long about RR blocking
    ports. You won't find me being a big RoadRunner defender. However, from
    where I am, in the Carrolwood area, RR apears to be running wide open,
    not blocking jack squat. They're multinetted out the yang, and they block
    access to the 10.0.0.0 stuff they seem to run their network gear on, but
    they're not blocking any normally customer-visible ports here. If they
    start to, I'm going to DSL.
