Hi Ian, You have to ensure that your tomcat server is reachable via the internet - maybe some firewall rule will need to be written. This means that you will need a public IP address.
Once you have the public IP address, you should be able to access via http://ipaddress:port/geoserver/wms? If you want to have a domain e.g. http://www.something.com:port/geoserver, then you will need to purchase this and associate with the public ip address. Normal convention is to configure tomcat to run on port 80 (configured in server.xml), then you will not need to specify a port.
