It is quite simple.  Your rules seem OK.  You say people can use https
and you''ve set that up the same way as http.  Right?

So, did you look in your log files to see if you have any DROPS to the
destination port 80?

If you don''t want to make the effort of greping your log file you could
always "tail -f /var/log/messages" and then
"http://www.yourhost.com" from
out on the internet.  If you don''t see anything in the tail and you
don''t
see anything in your Apache logs then your ISP is blocking port 80.

This is not an uncommon practice.  Many ISPs will charge you more money
to allow you to host a web server.
