What does the apache config file look like? You should have:

Listen 80

in the main config.

and it should answer if you type any of:

127.0.0.1
10.0.0.115 (current machine ip as assigned by the router)
localhost

...into your browser as long as your hosts file has:

127.0.0.1    localhost
10.0.0.115   localhost

127.0.0.1 is always set as the local machine (loopback)

10.0.0.115 is assigned by your router and doesn't need to be set in the 

hosts file unless you configure the router to assign that ip to that 

machine all the time.

 You have been making a lot of changes lately. You might want to see if 

there is a computer group in your area. If so, there is bound to be 

someone that can help you. Believe it or not, once this is set up 

properly and you can see how it works it's not hard to understand.

    On this machine, if you type in your browser:

    michaelsrogers.com

    it should work without even going through the router

    *Are you hosting www.michaelsrogers.net
    <http://www.michaelsrogers.net> on your apache server or on
    ipower? I'm confused as to why your .net and .com addresses
    resolve to
    different ip addresses. Do you want the outside world to see the .com
    address?

    As long as your 'server' computer keeps the same address, the port
    forwarding should work fine as long as your provider doesn't block
    port
    80. A big problem could be if your router won't allow you to 'visit'
    your own server from inside your network. I have the same problem
    with
    my newest netgear router. I had to set the hosts file like you
    above. If
    you have more than one computer in your network, you need to
    create the
    same entries in their hosts files if you intend on viewing your
    website
    from them as well. If this is the case then more than likely you
    need to
    have your router set as the DHCP server (the router assigns
    addresses)
    and then in the LAN IP setup you tell it to assign the same
    address (you
    enter the address) to the same computer every time.
