First, you have to create a TOC style in InDesign (Layout > Table of Content Styles), and add the paragraph style where you want the TOC anchors (chapter titles, for example). Then when you export to ePub, choose you TOC style in the Contents tab ('Include InDeisng TOC entries'), and make sure the two next thingy are checked ('Supress Automatic Entries for Documents', and 'Use First Level Entries as Chapter Breaks').

You should then have a navigational TOC.

Good luck.
