He needs to access the public IP address and you need to configure your firewall (router?) to port forward port 80 to the webserver.

But Remember it only supports Windows machines

Well, he wants to access his site, not use someone else's remote control application.

To access your Site only but not the PC, try this http://www.dyndns.com/support/kb/dynamic_dns_apache_and_windows.html

Uhh... He still needs to forward ports, however DynDNS is a good idea to have a static URL to find the site.
