[TYPO3-english] How important is "Use as Root Page"

Hello, I'm running TYPO3 CMS 6.2.6.

I've set up the test website, and everything seems to be working fine on my local network. However, when I try to access the TYPO3 site from an external network by way of a domain name, all of the pages will load correctly except the root page. I noticed that the root page is trying to use the local IP address of the server for its base href rather than the domain name. (For instance 10.0.0.100 rather than domainname.com.) All other pages load correctly.

I also noticed that if I uncheck "Use as Root Page" under the Behavior tab of the actual root page, the page loads fine.

Is it important to select "Use as Root Page" for the actual root page? If so, is there a setting that I need to adjust so that it does not use the servers local IP address for the base href?

Thank you. -chris
