You need to set up port forwarding )port 80) to the internal IP of your webserver. Exactly how to do it will depend on your router but they should all call it port forwarding. It may be under a security tab in the routers config pages.

You can assign a static IP to the webserver but it doesn't have to be the same as your external IP address.
 
Or you could set an internal static IP for the web server, such as 192.168.1.10, and set that in the DMZ of your router, although you will want a good firewall on the server.
