Did you ping port 80 exclusively?
Your ISP has probably blocked port 80 (http) on the clients on the cable net (my ISP
at home (chello.se) does that).
Cable network ISP's don't want anybody to be able to set up their own server (they
wouldn't be able to *squezze* more money out of their customers by providing an
*extra-deluxe* option with webhosting sevice) and they usually block some ports like
80 (http) and 21 (ftp). If you ask them *why* they do it - you probably get the answer
that it is to "protect the customer".
Set your server to use port 88 (just an example you can use 81, 82 ...) and redirect
the dns2go links.
Accessing (using your browser):
http://your-ip-here:88/your-start-page.php
Here are a useful link with some more ports listed.

Hope this help.
