If you listen on *:80 or 192.168.1.2:80, then anything that can route packets to that server/port will communicate with apache. Eg, if you configure your router to forward packets coming to your external IP on port 80 to 192.168.1.2:80, then computers outside your network would now be able to access your server, but nothing changes in apache. If you have configured apache to listen on *:80 or 192.168.1.2:80, and cannot connect to it from another machine on the same subnet (192.168.1.50 for example), then you have some firewall issue between those two computers.
