You need to edit your Apache configuration file. Change the "Listen" value to your ip. Eg...

Listen 111.111.111.111:80

It is usually httpd.conf

Are you using Windows or Nix?

[Houie]

windows

when you did the eg and you put :80 at the end do i need to put :80 at the end too?

Yes, add the port number(:80) to your ip, then don't forget to restart Apache.

I do strongly recommend that you purchase a hosting package, rather than using your box as the server. It's much more reliable. I only use my box as a dev server, then I upload my files to my host when I'm done testing and such.
