On the server computer start a browser and go to
http://whatismyip.com or http://checkip.dyndns.org
This will tell you your internet-ip.
Start your server listening on some port.

Now start a client on a machine somewhere on the internet
and let it connect to your internet-ip and the port your server
is listening on.

If there is a connection you are ready.

Otherwise - if you have a router- you first have to adjust your
router in such a way that it forwards request on
that specific port to your servercomputer on its intern-ip (or lan-ip).
