well if you have a router you will need to unblock port 80 (also on your firewall) and then you can give your friends your external ip you can obtain it at http://whatismyip.com now you can also get a domain name and set it up for you computer and give that to your friends as well.. i hope that helps..

ok thanks bud thats what i needed to know, i have everything, i created a dns domain, i have the dns client so my ip will automatically be updated to my domain. i fowarded both 80 and 8080 ports on my router, but i cant access my freaking website. when i type my dns its the same when you type a invalid website, it says cannot be found, when i type my ip (at the moment 201.89.161.181) it opens my router interface!!! most weird thing ever, because the router access ip should be a static ip like 192.168.0.1 or something right... but nope, my current ip opens its interface. even if i try 201.89.161.181:80 it opens the router interface... so i kinda need a little help here... thanks

outside. it has a 3g connection.

im not sure, but i think the problem is that my modem is using port 80. i believe i cant disable it, since when i try to foward port 80 it automatically transform it to the 8080. but as far as ive seen xampps apache wont accept port 8080, only 80. im not sure at all tho

Well just a question i know alot of people made this mistake.. but did you forward port 80 for the computer that has the xampp on it? you wouldn't be able to view your site if for some reason your modem is using port 80. and to get xampp to accept port 8080 you will need to go into php.ini file and change the port from 80 to 8080.
Also you might want to make sure your Windows Firewall has opened the port 80

yea i did. this computer isnt in a lan, so its the only one using the modem. the other is just for testing purposes.
so basically my modem's config page, that one that usually is something like 192.168.1.1 is using port 80 so when you type your current dynamic ip, it opens the modem's config page. i'll try to change apache's port to another one, maybe that can fix my problem, but im not sure what file contains default port information and where its located

Try editing the http-xampp.conf file in the extra folder - xampp/apache/conf/extras this version of xampp has all external access blocked out of the box. You will find a section near the end of the file that is labeled something like new security enhancements - i just killed it all. You will also find further up the file that nothing in the xampp and a ton of other folders can be reached from outside - so remote config - using phpmyadmin etc is gone - change the order deny allow to order allow deny - delete all the specific file entries and add an allow from all. It is also missing Zend, most of the ini files are moved etc. If you have been using previous versions you will have to spend hours configuring to get everything going. PHP refuses to even run the phpinfo() from outside until you play with the php.ini which is now in the php directory - not the apache/bin directory. The sendmail function is changed - and the sample config file fails miserably - get one from a previous version and it works fine. It would have been great if there was some of this documented - I have not found any help here - but have found help in outside searches in Google. I have 3 xampps running - the two previous were a breeze - I have 20 hours into the last and still have less than 50% of things working - most php scripts fail -It took me hours of research to get everything visible from outside again on this version. I am trying to find an old installer so I can dump this one...its terrible from a user friendly perspective

I encountered the same problem, I open port 80 and check port by canyouseeme.org, pfchecktool and they all say it's open. But when I type the ip:80 in the other computer outside my LAN it displayed Router config page. I check localhost Ok. I think some config need to fix :(
