This address will never work
www.sw6chat,servebbs.com as it contains a comma and make sure that the
www address has been configured at your DNS provider as the address containing www is different to one that does not contain the www part.
You are using a New York cable provider, so make sure your ISP, Optimum Online, does not block port 80 as most cable providers do - if your ISP provided IP address 68.196.178.159 (
ool-44c4b29f.dyn.optonline.net) does not connect to your Apache server when it is running on port 80 then you are more than likely being blocked by your ISP (
or perhaps there is some mal configuration in your router or cable modem).
BTW - Your FileZilla FTP Server is running on the above IP address on port 21 which may not be blocked by your ISP but port 80 and port 25 are showing as blocked.

i. Users may not run any type of server on the system. This includes but is not limited to FTP, IRC, SMTP, POP, HTTP, SOCKS, SQUID, DNS or any multi-user forums;
ii. Users may not register or point a domain, sub-domain, or hostname to any Optimum Online IP address. Moreover, Users may not have traffic redirected to the Optimum Online Service;
So if you are on Optimum Online then this TOS applies to you and would make it difficult for you to do what you want with regard to a web server and a domain from DynDNS.
Do a forum search in the
XAMPP for Windows forum using the advanced search facility using the keyword
vhost or
virtualhost and you can use my name
Izzy in the author field to help reduce the number of results, as there are many post with some good examples for you to try out and experiment with.
Paste your httpd-vhosts.conf file after having a go if it doesn't work when using some of the examples found in the search results and I will take a look at it for you in this topic only.
