Another trick is to simply not use the router's WAN port at all.
Configure the router with an IP on your local network, and it will
distribute
that network over the wireless. No need for NAT, DMZ, etc. I've
done that with one of the cheapie $30 NetGear routers with complete
success.

Assuming that the remote router is providing private address to the
mini via NAT, you'll need to manually add the mini to your list of
clients, using the public facing IP address of the router in place
of the mini's address. Then configure the remote router to forward
TCP and UDP ports 3283 (ARD) and 5900 (VNC) to the mini's inside
address.

Using ARD 2.2, we are trying to connect a remote Mac Mini (dual
core) through a wireless router to an adminstrator G5 which is
connected to the internet via T1. We’ve had the remote Mac Mini
communicating with this admin. G5 locally, but trying it at a
remote location with a different I.P. address doesn’t work, they
don’t connect for some reason. The wireless router we are trying
to use is not an Airport base station. Could that be the problem?
We’re newbies at using Apple Remote Desktop...any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
