you need to use the Server IP address that is visible on the internet, and of course ensure that the port 1433 is open in the firewall for the offices that try to connect to your sql server.

first tell us whether it is working on web server or in your organizations personal server? If it of your organization's one then it should have the public IP address which one was visible for the entire internet. Then only u can use that MS SQL server. Or try to buy a web hosting account from Service providers They will have the server with Public IP address. So that you can access that database from anywhere otherwise it is not possible to access your SQL server over internet(network).
