Hello,
Nobody can access my podcast producer feeds from outside my local network.
I'm publishing and hosting content from my Mac Mini Server and I'm using a Time Capsule as my router.
Please help me figure out where the block might be... I can't seem to figure it out!!
Thanks,
Bryan

You could configure the Mac Mini Server to be your network's DMZ. This would mean any incoming traffic would be routed to the server by default. This also means any service you have running on the server would be access-able from outside your local network. (unless you configure the server to do otherwise.)
1. Open AirPort Utility, select your base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the base station’s configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
2. Click the Internet button, and then click NAT.
3 Select the “Enable Default Host at” checkbox. The default IP address is 10.0.1.253. I suggest you use that default!
4 Enter the same IP address on the host computer. Also on the host computer, enter the subnet mask (255.255.255.0), router (10.0.1.1), and the DNS server address(es) of your internet service provider.
If you've already set server to a static IP, you could configure the default host to be that IP instead of 10.0.1.253. If you do change the server IP address to 10.0.1.253, after words you would want to reboot the server. if you configured the server to have a FQDNS, you may need to update those settings as well.

Thanks for chiming in! Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to do the trick...
I enabled default host using the static IP address on the host and the subnet mask, router, and DNS addresses are already configured accordingly.
Any other ideas?
Have you enabled any other services? such as web? if so can you now reach the website from outside the local network?
You need to enable port forwarding on your base station.
The following ports need to be pointed at your server.
8170 and 8171.
Here's the instruction on how to configure the port forwarding...

I just enabled and started web service but it didn't make a difference... Would I have to add and enable a particular site? You would think that just having Podcast Producer enabled and running would be enough! I get the feeling that the block has to be somewhere in the Time Capsule settings.
Port mapping for Podcast Producer already had 8171 in both the public and private TCP ports lists... I added 8170 to both and also added both ports to public and private UDP Ports list... Didn't fix it unfortunately.
Podcast Producer - Can't access server from outside of network.
