Access Apache web server running on a Windows 7 computer on a Xfinity network in my home

This worked fine until I moved to Colorado and ended up with Xfinity. I can connect via the internal IP address from other computers on my home network but I can't connect from computers that connect using a name I own on a DNS provider that ties the name to the IP address Xfinity assigns to the web server. 

Is there any information I can provide that will help with this?

Good evening @Ztruker3301. Are you receiving any error messages when trying to connect?

I just moved so don't have the web server installed right now. Will have it setup in the next few days then I will respond to this. Thank you.

I think I need to setup port forwarding but I'm not sure how to do it with the Xfinity modem. I'm pretty sure I did it when I first got here last December but I don't remember how, and it didn't work anyway. Now I need to try again.
