Next get the IP address of the device running Indigo on your internal network.
Now login to your router (usually 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of a browser) and enter your login name and password, sometimes the login name is admin...you'll have to read it's manual...
Then you have to setup port forwarding so that anything on port 8176(??) gets forwarded to the IP of your Indigo server...hopefully you have set it up with a static IP or persistant DHCP for it so that it's internal IP address doesn't change ever.
Then make sure the Mac firewall on your Indigo server allows that's port inbound and outbound.
That is about it.
