You have to change the baseURL (in the Template Constants or Setup), as 
the URL, under which you installed TYPO3 (from your LAN) is probably not 
reachable from outside world.
So if you have a look at the source code you will find this:
 > <base href="http://localhost/" />

Exactly the same cause. If a base URL is configured, every resource and 
link is prefixed by this url.

IIRC

Kind regards
Steffen
