you mean the apple remote desk top should be checked in the firewall of the machines iam trying to control?

Well yes, the system firewall has to be set to allow ARD. But again, I mean that you need to open the ports in the router that connects your home LAN (which I presume is what you mean) to the Internet.

You may also have to forward them if your router is an NAT device (i.e. it's assigning IP addresses to the workstations rather than your ISP having given you several). The ramifications of using NAT with ARD have been covered here many times already; just search the forum for "NAT".
