Make sure you set it up in httpd.conf (I forget the specific variable) not as localhost (127.0.0.1) but as your WAN IP.
Are you forwarding the HTTP port from the Linksys to the web server? This is easier to achieve if you don't set your web server as a DHCP client - use an IP address in the same subnet as your LAN, but not one in the router's DHCP pool.
Linksys should have docs on doing this on their website. Also, you might want to flash your firmware - this might give you new features and make it easier to work with thru the web interface, and also will plug security holes.
hmmm, router... do you know if it features a firewall.... that may block it....
