Go to the Mac mini running vine server, and go to http:// 
ipchicken.com/ to find the external IP address.

>  And second, how do I ping his machine?

go to the terminal (/applications/utilities/terminal.app) and type  
"ping (ip address)" without the quotes, and replace the (ip address )  
with the external Ip address of the mac mini and without the  
parenthesis. I hope this helps!
