Dan, You need to set up your Linksys router to put your laptop in the DMZ (de-militarized zone). This will point a client to your laptop anytime they use the WAN IP address. To do this, go into the Linksys setup in your web browser (192.168.1.1) and click on the "Advanced" tab. You then need to click on the "DMZ host" tab and enter in the IP address that you have assigned to your laptop. Then you should be able, depending on what services you have enabled, to access your laptop through FTP, AFP, WWW, SSH, etc. by using your WAN IP.
If you would like to set specific computers up to offer certain services then you will have to go into the "Forwarding" tab and set each IP address to listen to a certain port. so you could have one box as an FTP server at port 21 and another as a web server at port 80. Hope this helps Jesse P.S. If you do put you laptop into the DMZ make sure that you have you firewall enabled in OS X because your laptop will be on the net for all the world to see.
