We toss around IP addresses like they're all Good info. If you have port forwarding setup correctly, iptables configured to permit port 22, and have ssh enabled and running the problem is most likely that your work is blocking outbound port 22/ ssh protocol. A lot of companies do this since you can tunnel pretty much anything through ssh. Companies do this since it can present a security issue by letting just anything exit their firewall.
