Why can't I access my external ip?

I just set up my apache and svn server, but for some reason I can't connect to it from any computer on my network except the server. My friends are able to connect to it and I just tried connecting to it through a proxy and it worked fine. I tried pinging my external ip and got nothing back. It appears that I can't access my external ip at all.

That's sounds about right you can't normally reverse on a route, that is have the connection go into a port and back out the same port which it would need to to get to your external IP, you would have to connect to you ISP from your external IP and your ISP would have to route back to the same IP it had just received the connection from.

However you ought to be able to connect to your server(s) using the internal ip of the server on your lan.
