Just add the source as normal but specify the network address to your NAS instead:

Look into port forwarding and using a sharing protocol that works over the Internet (SMB wont work over most ISPs, so you'll have to use something like webDAV or FTP).

You can make easy links to the XBMC wiki using double brackets around words: [[debug log]] = debug log, [[Add-on:YouTube]] = Add-on:YouTube, [[Adding videos to the library]] = Adding videos to the library, [[userdata]] = userdata, etc

Without being in your house and seeing exactly what you have set up and what needs to be done, I cannot.
