Apache Newbie Issue

[topbun]

Hello,
Me and my friend have recently set up an apache server on a computer running Linux that is connected by an ethernet cable to the router and is connected to the internet.

I can succuessfully connect to the server from another computer in the network with the server computer's internal ip adress.

However, when I try to access it from a computer outside of the network over the internet using, http://(server computer's external ip):80 and http://(server computer's external ip) I can't connect to the server.

Do I need to port forward the server computer? And if so, how?

Or am I just trying to connect to the server from an outside computer the wrong way?

Thank you very much in advance for any responses!
