Do it this way:

Start | Run
Type:
cmd
Press Enter


When you have the command prompt open, type

telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.80




I'm not sure what that means, but it usually tells
me that i have a connection failure if it doesn't work, this is
different, so maybe it's a good thing???

I also checked my scope for my port 80 exception. I have it set to
"Any computer (including those on the Internet)"

OK.

I also tried power options that were suggested...didn't change
anything that I could tell.

I'm still not able to get to my computer from outside my network.

Thanks,
Thomas
