You will need to configure NAT to translate your public address to the server.
With this configuration anyone who points to your public ip address will be directed from the router to your server. If you have specific services such as web site (80) or RDP (3389) that you need external access to then I recommend only allowing those ports to be redirected to the server.
Below is an example for web access to a server
 

ip nat inside source static 10.10.10.3 80 x.x.x.x 80 <---public IP address
 
int f0/0 <--internet facing interface
ip nat outside
 
int f0/1 <---internal facing interface
ip nat inside

Open in new window

I don't know the Cisco details but you need to use VPN to get to the site securely and NAT to translate your private server address to a public address. Depending on the model router it may all be supported.
If you are wanting to just have general access to your network as if you were directly connected then you will need to configure a VPN. This is a little more tricky and might not be supported on your router.
What is the model of your cisco router along with the IOS image installed?
