(Are you sure your ISP isn't blocking the web port? Are you using your external IP?)

To access the server from the outside, people should use your external IP or WAN IP (if you have a router, it is your router's external IP). It is the IP assigned to it by your ISP. This WAN IP can be known by browsing http://www.aprelium.com/ip from your computer. If you have a router, you must configure it to forward incoming requests to the web port to your computer so that Abyss Web Server can respond to them.

If your WAN IP changes often, You'll need to use the services of a free DNS
provider that can track those IP changes and give you a DNS name. We suggest looking at http://www.dyndns.org or at http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Internet/Servers/Address_Management/Dynamic_DNS_Services/?tc=1 .
This way, you'll always access your server using an address like http://www.yourserver.freednsprovider.com without paying attention to IP changes.

If you have problems to make your server reachable from the outside, we
recommend reading http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/faq.html#A1-2 .
