Forwarding Ports behind a router - HTTP Apache Server

Alright, I have the server set up with PHP and MySQL. The server itself is Apache. I have this problem where no one else can view any of my files.. I've asked my friends and some other forums, they keep telling me to forward the ports. How would I do this?

If anyone could contact me on AIM (TCMYB PimpMasta) or just reply with a short explanation, that would be great. I'm not very familiar with Apache etc, so try not to get too involved in "Tech" terms, as I will get confused (most likely).

Any help is appreciated.

P.S If this topic has been covered, sorry for the inconvenience, I tried the search on the forums and all that came up for me was something about forwarding for FTP Servers etc.

well.
First you tell us, what router you got. And or if you got any firewalls (both hard- & software)

Windows XP Home
Linksys Wireless Access Point Router

If it helps, my brother is using the internet with his laptop wirelessly.
I am on the computer which has the router connected to it.

pimpmasta - sorry for all the trouble, but you're going to have to
replace your footer with a smaller image. That one is too large
@ 15kb.

Footers rules: no larger than 468x100px @ 6kb. Thanks.
