I am trying to host a website on my computer. However I can't access it from the internet.
When I do http://localhost/
everything comes up as it should.
I have forwarded port 80 on the router to the static IP of my computer.
When I try to access the ip address of my cable modem from a computer not on my network (or on my network), nothing happens and the connection times out.
Any suggestions? |

It is possible that another firewall is blocking it. Like Windows Firewall or any other firewall that you have installed on your PC. This happened to me too the very first time, but after I configured my firewall and forwarded my port properly, I was able to access my PC using a proxy. 
Oh, and also go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc, open the "hosts" file using notepad and add your IP and the hostname there in the following format.
| Code: | | 192.168.1.2 mydomain.com |
