My internal IP address is 192.168.1.2, sorry if I wasn't clear.
I'm trying to get it so others can connect to me; my port 80 when looked on the outside is closed and not open. Apache is on, it's listening just fine, I can connect to myself internally through the internal address but checking those port checker websites and Incapsula & Cloudflare will report that my site is down and can't be connected to.
I am absolutely positive that Comcast doesn't block incoming port 80 connections as I've done it before, we did change a few things (nothing related to the router/modem, on a service level) but that couldn't have possibly affected what is blocked. I even checked on a website that would go in-depth and all and all ports returned as STEALTH (disabling port scan would tell me something else but it didn't change the fact that no one could connect to me) and IIRC, if it was blocked it would be CLOSED. I even tried other ports, I opened up 3306 for a few minutes to test and it didn't work. I turned on Remote Management temporarily and asked the websites to scan the port of the remote management port and it all reported as OPEN. So, it's probably my fault that it won't open up.

@maplefreak26; out of sheer curiosity, you ARE trying to connect to your external address, right?
Edit: one more thing I should mention. Are you 100% sure that Comcast doesn't block incoming port 80 connections? I know that certain ISP's REALLY don't like servers on their residential internet (it is usually stated in their TOS) and may just block it by default.
