Hi,
If it works inside, it could be that your ISP is blocking inbound port 80 or that it's otherwise firewalled somewhere. Try changing the listening port to something else, i.e. edit the httpd.conf file and either change the 'Listen 80' to 'Listen 8080' or add a second line if you prefer. You might have to try a port you know definitely works as 8080 is also well known as an alternative http port.
If you test using an xinetd conrolled port (e.g. 23 for telnet) temporaily stop xinetd first with '/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd stop' so that nothing else is listening on that port.
