Not sure what the default xampp setup is, but look for the Listen directive to verify which ports apache is actually listening on, and make sure those are forwarded. Also, I'm not sure how much you know about networks (so pardon me if you consider this suggestion offensive): are you connecting to your router's public IP address, or your system's local address? If you got the ip address from something like ipconfig, then it's the local address. If it's something like 192.168.x.x, it's a local address. To get the public address, you can go to a site like whatismyipaddress.com.
