Lion 10.7 ssh-ing from outside

[natski]

Hi all,

I have never had a server OS before but just got myself a new mac mini server with Lion server installed. The point of this was so I could ssh my machine from work and access my files from wherever I am. Sadly, I seem to be only able to ssh my machine when I am on the same wireless network. How do I ssh my machine from outside this network?

The thing I tried was turning on Remote Sharing which gave me an IP address to ssh, but this does not work when I am outside the network.

Thanks for any help and sorry if this appears as a grossly newb question,

Sounds like you need to do port forwarding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding) on your router to send the traffic directed to port 22 (the default for SSH) to the router, to the same port on the machine running the SSH server.
