I cannot get to my Apache web server over the internet!

I have Apache 2 installed on my computer, and I can see the pages fine
within my home network. But when I try to access it over the internet,
it doesn't work.

I have Verizon DSL and I know port 80 is blocked, so I am using Port
8080 instead (I have done an internet port probe, which said that port
8080 is open!). I use dynamic DNS, (scottharper.dyndns.org:8080). I
have a Westell 327W Wireless router w/DSL modem built in (came from
Verizon). I have set up rules so that all Port 8080 global traffic
should be forwarded to my computer (192.168.1.3-Static) as Port 80
local traffic.

But whenever I try to access it over the internet, it doesn't work!
I've never set up a web server before and I think my configuration
files may be wrong, can someone please me to set this up?

Thanks!
Scott Harper

Firewalls on your own network? (Router and serving computer)

No, the firewall on my router has been disabled. I have Windows XP and
the Windows firewall has been disabled.

Not a good idea... Put controlled holes through a firewall, don't just
throw the whole thing away. Unless, like me, you find it amusing to watch
someone's XP get destroyed within a few seconds.
