Probably not. If your site works fine as
http://192.168.0.1/phpwiki/nameofmywikipage then your webserver (which I
assume is Apache) can connect to the database just fine. It shouldn't be
affected by where the page request comes from.

Assuming you're using Apache, look for a line like 

  ServerName localhost.local

in httpd.conf. Change that line to your hostname

  ServerName www.example.com

and make sure that www.example.com resolves in DNS (test with dig or
nslookup) and in your /etc/hosts file.

This looks like a nameservice/webserver configuration problem, not a
problem with phpwiki.
