I want to make our production server secure and prevent it from service to our test / developers department. The question is how it is possible to force the SQL-Server (in our production) to serv only specific IPs and do not serv the others? Or probably, you may have a better idea to implement this.

Yes. Do not provide any logins for that server to your testers or developers. If they have access via a Windows login or group, use sp_revokedbaccess or sp_revokelogin to prevent them from connecting via Windows authentication. Make sure no one has the sa password and they're not using sa in the applications. If you're not sure, change the sa password.

A firewall?

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

The login way is the "best" way to go, but putting your SQL server on a different subnet would probably be easiest for you to impliement. You should alway seggregate your production and development environments. This is especially important when it comes to viri and worms.
