You will need to open a port on your router. The details on this depend on the router. Typically you tell it what port you want to open, and the lan IP of the computer to which traffic on that port should go. You can set the port here: control center->internet&network->destop sharing->network tab It looks like it uses port 5900 by default, so try opening that first.
