What you need to do is watch for traffic coming into port 80 on your 
firewall.  My bet would be that your ISP has graciously blocked port 80 
from even getting to you.  For your own protection of course. /rude ISP

If you can, configure your firewall to forward say port 8080 to internal 
port 80.

Then access: http://your.external-ip.address:8080/mythweb/main.php

Hopefully they haven't blocked port 8080 as well.

Good luck,
