Follow your modem provider's instructions for forwarding a port to a machine. Usually this involves accessing a web page on your modem. > > > 4.

Enable remote access on your ADSL modem, although I personally wouldn't recommend doing that. As an alternative, get a domain name and an account set up with DynDNS (or other dynamic DNS provider) and install ddclient on your home machine. ddclient extracts the IP from your ADSL modem at prescribed intervals and informs your dynamic DNS provider, who then updates your DNS record(s). Using that approach, you'll be able to ssh to yourdomain.tld instead of to an IP address. Jay
