I m programming for an installation that uses a blind macmini with a maxpatch, recording audio. What I want to do is to control this audio files and patch(listen to them, and select them for playing) through a remote computer connected to the internet that sends message to the macmini.

udpsend and udpreceive, for messages and jit.net.send jit.net.recv for audio streaming.

I know I can use jit.broadcast for streaming, but still I need to control the patch on the macmini remotely.

The problem here is that IP Address of each machine is behind the routers because they are under a local net (wich should be a standart situation for most). I was reading at the forum for some reverse NAT config, but I could get any result, even in the router config. I m trying with NETGEAR WGT624 on one side, and LINKSYS WRT54G on the other.

You need to configure the router on the destination network, so that 

UDP packets to that router's address on port N get routed to the Mac 

mini itself (on port M, where N and M are probably the same).

Note also that there's a real risk of packet loss with UDP when sent

You need to configure the router on the destination network, so that  
UDP packets to that router's address on port N get routed to the Mac  
mini itself (on port M, where N and M are probably the same).

Note also that there's a real risk of packet loss with UDP when sent  
across several networks.
