I have changed IIS to point to my default location
(C:\inetpub\wwwroot\oursite\), changed the default document to default.aspx
(my default doc), allowed HTTP traffic in the XP Firewall settings, allowed
anonymous access in IIS.

Why can't I get to my site via the IP address (http://209.183.xxx.xxx)

I just get the default "You are not authorized to view this site" message.

Hi,

Is there default.aspx file in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\oursite\? Make sure you did
not mistype the document name (on IIS settings or on the file).

Is Anonymous access enabled? Does IUSR account have access permissions (read
permissions) on C:\inetpub\wwwroot\oursite\ folder?

Yes there is Default.aspx in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oursite.

IUSR_MYPC has anon perms to access the resource. I checked "Allow IIS to
control password".

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oursite\ is setup as the default website in IIS.  It's a
security setting somewhere that's not allowing this.  I tried disabling the
firewall and that didn't work either.  i'm lost at this point.

Firewall is configured OK since the error that you are getting is from IIS.

Does IUSR account have NTFS permissions on c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oursite\
folder? It needs read permissions since IIS will always honor them.
