www.michaelsrogers.com resolves to 66.133.46.108 for me as well.  The fact
that this is your modem is a good thing.  This means that when people
request a page from www.michaelsrogers.com the requests get up to your
modem.  Now all you have to figure out is how to get them from your modem,
through your router and into the computer running the apache web server.

Nicholas mentions port forwarding. An alternative is to set the DMZ on your
router to point to the IP address of your computer running apache (I beleive
you mentioned that this was 10.0.0.101).  Port forwarding is more secure,
but setting a DMZ is easier.

Doing port forwarding or setting a DMZ will solve the issue of external
access to www.michaelsrogers.com. It may or may not solve the issue of
internal access.

What is the manufacterer and model number of your router? It might be easier
to help you if we knew this.

They are right its a configuration issue with your router.  I think they
mean port forwarding.
