How are you connected to the Internet? If it is via a cable modem, it is
entirely possible that these ports are being blocked, esp. port 80, the
http port. I don't know offhand how to tell Apache to listen on a different
port, but try changing it to, say, 8080, and then connect to:

http://www.mywebhost.com:8080

and see if that helps.
