Apache server doesn't work on outside connections

I installed XAMPP on my PC and everything works, but sometimes people can't see my site.

I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact that I have a dynamic IP and 2 NICs, so I can't actually set an IP for apache to listen on.

 

Anyone have an idea on preventing apache to listen on both NICs and set it up for the one with a dynamic IP?

Yeah I've got that all set up.

 

Let me explain my situation a little further.

 

 

I'm running vista, with 2 nics.

One nic is connected to my modem, which gives my pc a public, dynamic IP.

The 2nd nic is set up for ICS to my 2nd pc, which isn't point to the internet at all.

 

What i want to do is set up apache to only listen on my first nic, and not both. Which is possibly causing this problem of mine.

When I visit the url of my server, it works fine, but if someone else tries it, it doesn't. Most of the time after someone else tries it, it doesn't even work for me until I restart apache..

 

So I'm looking for a way to not have to restart the server every time it happens.
