Hi,

As far as I'm aware, you would need to either install OS X Server software on 
your iMac and set that external HD as a Time Machine backup location, or attach 
the external HD to an Airport Extreme.  The Mac OS doesn't see regular network 
drives as Time Machine backup locations so they won't normally appear as a 
choice from within the Time Machine.
