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.
