Most of them do this before the traffic gets into their network, at the head
end, not at the first router the traffic touches, which would be at the
other end of the cable-modem (did he specify he was using cable ?)

run 'netstat -pant | grep :80'
verify that your apache is LISTENing on all it's IP interfaces.
It may only be listening on the loopback, coz the others weren't up
when apache was started ?
If you verify that it is listening, then try
telnet <enter ip address here> 80
If you can telnet to port 80, then your WWW browser can get in...
And if you can't, I'd consider running a tool like ethereal (don't know if
they have a MacOS version, but something similar) to see what the IP
traffic is doing...you might be getting some ICMP messages informing you
of why it's not working....
