Some routers can re-route packets to the internal network, some can't.
If your router cannot do this, you must use the internal IP of your server. See the documentation on your operating system to obtain that IP.

Isn't it possible the router doesn't know how to route the inbound request from the internet IP? Most/all routers have a configuration interface accessible via a browser. If you can get to the configuration, make sure that port 80 is open, and that the router is forwarding the request to the machine with the .100 NAT address...

Question, I can brower my web site by http://192.168.0.100/ within local network. How can I browse my web site from computer over internet? I check my IP address from myIPaddress and get

It's a limitation of many home routers that you can't use your externally routable IP address from within the LAN.
