Need help trying to access network remotely

I will start off this post by warning that I am not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to networking beyond a LAN.
I am trying to set up my network to enable remote login to my Final Cut Server (port 8891). My network consists of an Airport Extreme router, a few switches, and several workstations connected to the network.
I am connected to the internet via a cable modem and have gone online to find out what my IP address is. Whenever I try to connect to the network via that IP address I receive a "Cannot connect to server" message. I have tried using the IP address and the IP address followed by ":8891" (the port I am trying to access).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Doug

Sorry for the delay in response.
I have been able to access and use Final Cut Server as part of our regular workflow from within our LAN.
In terms of remote access to the network, I set up the Airport Extreme to forward all incoming requests to the computer running Final Cut Server. When I go to the IP address I am reported to be on (from whatismyip) from inside my network, everything works fine. I can access the apache server and Final Cut Server. When I utilize a computer not on the same network to access the IP address for the network my Final Cut Server is located on, the browser timeouts trying to connect. Eventually I receive a message saying the server is not responding.
Any ideas why I cannot access my home network remotely?

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

This is detailed: I lost my touch pad scroll ability on my desktop when I installed Firefox, I am having a terrible time trying to sync my new Android tablet to my desktop, my desktop Firefox is acting very strangly (I need help trying to use it)

My Vista Home Premium desktop has not used Firefox for a long time. I just loaded it as well as on my Honeycomb Android. The statement that I made pretty much says what my problem is. I can use both of them at the same time and use a router with the air Verizon card installed.

NEED HELP--HOW DO WE NETWORK MACS in 2 CITIES?

...for purposes of Web Site Design and accessing files.
We have a small web design company in New York. My staff person is moving to New Jersey and we both want to access our web site files from one hard drive, located here in New York, so she can continue to work for our company while now relocating to New Jersey.
We are using G5's/hardware, and Dreamweaver and Photoshop.
Timbuktu does not work for our purposes. Does anyone know how my staff person in New Jersey can log into our information here directly connecting to our hard drive to make changes and updates to files?
We thought about her just downloading the files, making changes and then reuploading them again to the Internet; however, the problem we encounter is that as soon as the files are uploaded using FETCH, the Dreamweaver/HTML file turns into an I/E (Internet Explorer) file, and the Photoshop file, turns into a Quicktime file. This makes it so that if we download the files from the Internet to make changes that way, we can then no longer double click on them from the Photoshop and Dreamweaver programs, because they are no longer Photoshop and Dreamweaver files.
The only way to access files after they have been uploaded, and then downloaded again, is to do a FILE > OPEN while you are in Dreamweaver or Photoshop, and go down through the levels of files to open the file in that particular program. This takes forever when you are working on 100 or more files per day. It also does not remember the folder you are in, so if you go to open a second file using the FILE > OPEN procedure, it starts back at the top; does not go to the folder you were just in when you opened the previous file. This process is very tedious and cumbersome, and does not work in production environment.
Any suggestions on what work would work well for her to access the files in our office here in New York, while she is in New Jersey? We have tried every Mac Support Rep listed on the Apple Site within 50 miles and no one can come up with anything for us.
Thanks for anyone's suggestions or help!

the most transparent way would be to set up an ipsec vpn allowing secure access to your ny system, in effect you would be giving her direct accesss to your lan
doing this properly requires some work
at your ny site i'd use a router to support inbound vpn connection as well as your general internet access and firewalling (if your existing router cannot do this you'll need a new one)
at the remote end, the mac has built-in vpn support, so as long as a compatible vpn router is used then it is straightforward
an additional benefit of this approach is that you would all be able to use the same vpn to get remote access to your ny network when travelling/at home etc.
a device like this... http://www.netgear.com/Products/VPNandSSL/WiredVPNFirewallRouters/FVS318.aspx
...might be suitable, but if you are not comfortable doing it in-house i strongly recommend discussing requirements in detail with a competent systems integrator, getting things wrong could compromise your security
as a short term solution to the file type changing on upload/download, if you use zip (or stuffit) to create a .zip (or .sit) archive of the files, then upload the archive, when you download and unzip i think the file type will be preserved

Sort of fixed this issue by connecting to the server using the name and not the ip address.

Need help with routing a network in VMware.

I have one network with the IP of 192.168.2.10. A router is setup with two networks. The first network has an IP of 192.168.2.3 and the second network has an IP of 192.168.3.2. Then there is one final network whose IP is 192.168.3.10. My goal is to set
up route table entries and have all the networks be able to ping each other. The route table entries I am referring to is the
route -p add command. If someone could help me understand what entries I should input so all the networks can ping each other, that would be great. Thanks. If you need a picture of the network, I have a diagram.
