Connect using the servername (DNS-name or IP-name) and the database name. The server needs to allow connections from the internet, and make sure there are no firewalls in between that stops the connection.

If you are looking for a way for allowing your users to connect, a good solution is to use Excel over the web using IIS, HTTPS and the msmdpump.dll. There is an article describing the process here for SQL 2005 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc917711.aspx

or for SQL 2008 http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/mglaser/archive/2008/08/15/configuring-http-access-to-sql-server-2008-analysis-services-on-microsoft-windows-server-2008.aspx
