Internal ping works, but external does not

Hello!

I'm not quite sure the right questions to ask, so I'll explain the problem as best I can and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

I've got a static IP address (I think) that resolves to samaritan.homeip.net which, from inside my network I can ping just fine, but if I try to access it through a web-browser, I get request timed out errors. I can get to the internet from the machine I'm trying to access, but I can't get from the internet to that machine.

I used to be able to access this machine just fine until today when the network card went khaput and I replaced it. I'm really new to this stuff, so I appologize if I haven't provided enough information. Please let me know what else I need to determine in order to resolve this issue.

Thanks so much!
