web server permissions question

I think this is a permissions issue. I just installed Apache13, 
and it works fine on my LAN using a fixed local IP. I opened 
port 80 in my Linksys router, and from the internet I can now 
get to my home page over the internet, using my fixed IP. 

>From my local LAN I can use links on my home page to display 
html files in directories under the directory where my home 
page lives. However, from over the internet I can only get to 
my home page. Except, I can go to IP/manual/ and apache shows 
me the apache manual pages by virtue of an alias in httpd.conf. 

So, I know it is possible to access other web pages via the 
internet connection; I just don't know how to allow access to 
my subdirectories.
