I suspect it is because your ISP is blocking port 80 outside of their network. Many ISP's do and their service agreements often indicate you are not supposed to run any type of server. I think the easiest way to determine this may be to create another web site using another port and then see if you can get to it. Your URL would then be http://24.167.121.204:NewPort#
Seems like I have read ways to get around this so you don't have to include the port in your address but I don't recall where. You would probably have to register a domain name and then have a DNS server outside Time Warners network point back to your IP:port for your web site. Here is I just read this: it seems my provider has blocked port 80 but i've figured a way around it though. i've redirected my domain to another page elsewhere on the web and set that page to redirect to my webserver ip @ port 8000. i set my gateway to redirect port 8000 to the webservers port 80 and it works thanks for your reply.
