Can't access WAMP site from the web with IP

Question

I'm running the latest version of wampserver with apache 2.4.2 and php 5.4.3. on Windows 2008.

I'm running two ip's, one for iis and one for apache. I did that by adding

Listen 123.456.78.999:80 Listen 80

in httpd.conf. I also switched 'require local' to 'require all granted' in the of both

'ServerName localhost:80' and 'DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/"'.

When entering the ip in the local browser, I get access. But when I enter it from the web/external browser, the browser cant find the server and just times out. Port 80 is forwarded, as I can access my IIS sites.

Is there anything else I should be doing to put my wamp online?

Thanks in advance!

Annnd the culprit was....Windows firewall. I thought that wouldn't be the case because apache and iis were both using the same port (80), but it turns out that there is an iis-only rule allowing traffic coming in on port 80! So I added a new inbound rule opening port 80, and voila, now everything works!
