While we were in the process of moving to the live server (with static ip address). I realize that the sharepoint site is not working when I access it through IP Address (For the outer network public). It is running fine from the local network both by dns or by name.
So I diagnose, I need to register the new URL (with new ip address) somewhere in the sharepoint.
1 . Let's move to share point central administration
2. Goto Operations then goto Alternate Access Mappings.
You might see the following screen.
