On Computer #2 edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and set ListenAddress to have #2 
listen on a different port.

Then forward the different port in your router in the same manner you've 
forwarded port 22.

Actually, it's a good idea to have both of your machines listening on some 
randomly-chosen non-default port for ssh connections. Keeps the script 
kiddies away.
