1st of all, i think you have a problem with the set up of your 
router/gateway/firewall
what exactly do you have?
do you have any web sites set up on the server?
you can not get to any web site via your ip address
to me, it looks like you have a firewall without any kind of port 
forwarding or dmz
that effects inbound
it also looks like you have the dns of your server set up wrong
you either need to have a dns server or more likely, you need to put the 
dns of you isp in the network settings of you raq, it acts like you have 
your gateway ip address setup in the dns location

It appears the basic setup of the server is not correct, check you network 
settings
you also need to check the settings of your router/firewall
