When somebody that isn't me (someone not from my IP address) goes to my website, they can see the proper page.
When I go to my website, I see my router's set up page (it's a Belkin F7D3302 v1).
What I wanted to do was make it so when I went to my website, I saw the home page instead of my router's setup page. I was originally doing my port forwarding using a start and end port of 80, but tried changing the end port to 8080 to see if that would get the desired effect and making Apache listen for traffic on port 8080, but I got the exact same effect. Does anybody know what I could do to fix this?

Your router probably uses NAT or forwarding of some kind. So your internal server is forwarded to the public IP address of your router and people round the world can then see your website. You on the other hand are on the same private network as your internal website, not on the outside of the router. So any reference to your external IP address either via a domain name or using the address WILL go to your router.
I have the some issue. To get around this I just put an alias/entry in my hosts file of my desktop to map the domain name to the address of my server running my website.If the website was on my desktop I'd just use 127.0.0.1 westcom.no-ip.info in my hosts file to go to my website westcom.
As it's on a different server at home I just use (for me) 10.1.1.5 westcom.no-ip.info in the hosts file
So my desktop goes to my server for my website, but my default route/gateway from the router is still the outside world so the rest of the interweb still works.
Hope this explanation makes sense.
