I'm trying to set up an Apache Server to be accessed publicly.

I'm using a Netgear R4500 router hooked up to a Motorola SB6121 modem. I can access my server on my computer by typing in my IP address. After following the instructions to forward port 80 so I can access the server from other computers, it does not work (see image).

I get "This webpage is not available". I am forwarding to the IP address of my computer. Using this Network Port Scanner Tool, it says "80/tcp filtered http", which, as I understand it, means forwarding did not work correctly. In my Apache httpd file, I have:

ServerName 192.168.1.13:80

and

Listen 192.168.1.13:80

Anyone know what's wrong or have something I can try?
