I have an apache trouble shooting question.?

Question

I have set up xp, apache 2.2, mysql and php. I use the combo to develop web apps and then put them on a server somewhere else. Now I want to actually deploy a web app online using said setup. I have made all of the necessary adjustments on my router (port triggering) and even tried putting the computer in the DMZ. I've completely turned off the firewall (last two for troubleshooting purposes). As far as I can tell nothing with my machine or the network should prevent users from being able to type in my ip address and view a directory listing - but they can't. So then I think the problem resides in some sort of setting in the httpd.conf file in apache - but that is greek to me (just barely able to get it setup well enough for development). Could this part be causing the problem?

If so what should it be, if not what else might it be? Are they any good configuration setup GUIs for apache?

In a nutshell here is my httpd.conf file. I've deleted everything that was commented out. When it loads up it will look like a jumbled mess but if you just view the source it looks like a regular config file. Thanks
