Apache (personal) server help

I had started an Apache Web Server on my WinXP machine, and wanted to get everything working before I attempted it on a Red Hat Linux machine as a full time web server. So here we go:

1)I'm running Apache under WinXP, and I am behind a router
2)My problem HAS to be with my router
3)I contacted help/support with my ISP (Road Runner cable) and this is what they had to say about me with my web server:

Yes, you can use Apache to my knowledge. I know there are customers who set up Apache server and use PHP and MYSQL database with it. I just asked our technician, you can set it up but it will not work on port 80. You do not need a ?Business class account? to set your own web server up, you can run Apache server if you have even a standard residential account.

4)So I have my Apache httpd.conf file configured for port 888 since I can't use 80. My site comes up when I type "http://localhost:888", and "http://192.168.1.101:888/" - which is my internal ip and the correct port

5)Since my ISP confirmed that web servers are allowed (but not on port 80) and since my website comes up on my internal IP, behind the router, this leads me to believe that I am not forwarding port 888 properly.. correct?

But to my knowledge, I have forwarded them properly, and I took screenshots of all three windows of my Linksys router/firewall software, you can see them HERE

I went to "whatismyIP.com" to get my external IP for the router, I typed that IP into my browser (http://xx.xx.xxx.xx:888) and I get "Could not connect to remote server". Whe I type that in, shouldn't it go through my router since 888 is forwarded to my PC, straight to my PC and then my website (since the site works locally)?

Also, my httpd.conf file is posted HERE

If you have ANY help, it would be greatly appreciated, thanks
