Hi,

It looks like a router problem to me, do you have some port-forwarding  
or somethin like that on the router you have not changed?
Have you tried changing the new servers IP to the old servers and  
pointing the DMZ to that old IP? as in simply switching the new server  
for the old?

Hope this helps.
