another thing is whatsmyip.org reports different ips for both pcs...
If it's true, I'm afraid your internet signal already goes through router before coming to your modem. In that case, you might have hard time to setup web server for outside accessible.

when i try the external ip adderss found from whatsmyip.org i get a login box... no default page or anything.
I have a funny feeling that the loginbox is for my modem...
I don't think it's your modem, but it's router, and might be your isp's router as mentioned above. Anyway, try log-in w/ your info for your router; if not successful, it might be as my guess; if successful, your setup for port forward's not quite correctly.

Hi, im new here but have been reading for a while and I cant seem to find someone with the same problem as I have
Based on your post, suggestion is about the same.
Connect your computer directly to modem, put your server in online mode, enable port 80 in all firewalls, and try again.
Have fun
