C# Programming

I can connect to the default instance of SQL using SQL MGMT Studio by providing the FQDN. The problem is I can not connect to the named instance. The problem is I can not find the syntax for providing FQDN for a named instance.
I am only using Mgmt studio to test because I am writing an app but the connection fails. I tried using IP Address and port number, fqdn and port number but no luck. I also tried by giving the instance name an alias and still no luck. I am using sql authentication.
I can access everything fine if I am on the network but outside the network is where the issues arise.
Any help would be appreciated! Googling did not help, neither did MSDN.
