Accessing WampServer outside local network

Hello,

I've just setup my site on WAMPserver (2.2a-x64). I can access my site as a localhost (on the server itself). It is properly configured using port 80, and our server is CISCO using NAT. But, when I type the IP address of the site into a browser outside that server/network, I get an error on the browser:

Server not found



Firefox can't find the server at drupal.my.site.edu.


Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.


Question:
Did i forget to configure something? I'd like to access this site over the internet.

No matter within or outside LAN access, you need to setup Access, DNS, and VH; Access for permission to connect to your Wamp PC, DNS to tie Domain(s) to your Wamp PC, and VH to host multiple Domains/Websites/IP's and even you have only 1 Domain/IP, you should use VH to set it up w/ the site you want to show up first on top and localhost on bottom and others in middle if having more than 1 site; w/ VH, other PC's, no matter w/i or outside LAN, can access/see websites/contents of that particular folder set for that particular VH on your wamp PC. If dont have real Domain, just skip DNS guide
