Alright guys. This is probably the complete newbie question, but I just cant
fight a straight answer on google. The questions usually I found, werent
answered. Anyways, to the point. I'm behind router. Cable modem -> Router ->
pc's. Basic home setup. I set up apache and want to figure out how is it
possible for me to use external ip to connect to my server? I can access the
server via internal ip & people can access it via my external, but for me
doesnt show up.

What does this mean?

Others can use the public IP on your router and hit the apache server? But you can only hit the apache server from the private IP?

If the answers to the above are yes, this is the way your router keeps the public IP separate from the private LAN ip's. It is not routing between the two networks. Most routers are configured in this way. Some more full featured routers can be configured to route between the subnets, but it is generally not a good idea to route between the public subnet and the private subnet for securuty reasons.

I know this configuration has to do with my network, rather
than apache, or at least main configuration of my network and probably some
tweaking with apache....Well, if possible, some replies would be
appreciated. Maybe at least point me at the right direction. Thank you.
