Every IP I try (192.168.1.12, 10.0.2.15, as well as my outward facing IP) my browser keeps returning that it cannot connect to this address. It's driving me crazy. Can someone school me on why this might be happening and possible solutions? It would be greatly appreciated.

It depends on where you are. Addresses like 192.168. or 10. are
non-routable on the outside net. There are about 100000 of each of these
addresses assigned around the world, and which of those should the
system connect to? routers will simply throw them away, unless you are
on exactly the same network they are on. Thus if you are not, you cannot
get there from here. 
Your outward facing IP is just that an IP. Unless it is on your
computer, rather that on the modem/switch/router, the computer inside
that has no idea what to do
with a packet it gets for port 80. You have to tell the router wnat to
do. That is called port forwarding. 

Finally, the firewall has to let packets addressed to port 80 through--
either on the router and on your computer, and your computer has to have
something (eg apache) listaning to port 80.
