How come when I type in my ip address my router comes up (it's password protected).
I have forwarded port 80 to the computer that i'm running apache on. (192.168.0.250)
My router uses actiontec.
when I type in my Lan ip (192.168.0.250) my page comes up.
I asked my ISP if they blocked UDP/TCP on port 80, they said no.
Also in apache my servername is set to localhost would that have somthing to do with it?

Your router probably has some kind of remote administration option. Basically the router is intercepting incoming port 80 requests and routing it to itself because it thinks that's what you want.

See if there is an option to disable the router's remote administration, and then your forwarding should work.
