How do I get my server to use an external ip address?

I am trying to get Apache to act as a web server on CentOS 5. If I change the Listen line in the httpd.conf file to anything but a local ip, I get the error:

 

Could not assign the requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address

 

Is this maybe just a problem because I am using a router? Like, I could go to a colocation, get a static ip, and be good?
