You probably need some port forwarding
If outside users can't connect to your Internet IP, but you can connect locally, then most likely a router or firewall in-between is blocking their access. This is common. You need to "forward" your IRCd port (usually 6667 and 6697) on your router. Identify the brand of your router and see portforward.com for help on how to do this.
