Check the config files for your webserver (presumably, apache) and make sure your firewall is allowing connections on that port as well.

Surprised no one jumped on that - samba.conf, as the name implies, is the config file for samba, which is totally unrelated to this. You may want to undo whatever changes you made. Also, were this a permissions problem, your friends would be seeing 403s and 'Permission denied' pages; 'connection timed out' indicates that the TCP connection couldn't be established in the first place, meaning either apache isn't allowing it or something else (firewall, ISP, etc.) is blocking it and it never gets far enough for permissions to be relevant.
