To be absolutely sure you can try the following. 1. confirm your global ip (e.g. here: http://checkip.dyndns.com) 2. check sshd is running at your end and is using port 22. you can try ssh-ing to another local user to check easily. 3. nc -z <global.ip> 22 (from a machine outside your local network) 4. if this last step shows you that connection is not happening, you can try looking at your router settings. there should be a way to port forward your ssh connections to port 22 of the machine you want to use as a server. There are 2 "gotchas" about the above. You have to use other ports on the router for ssh to other machines on the same local network (not sure if there is a better way, but in my limited understanding this is the case). The other is, often ISPs have dynamic IPs, so the moment you reconnect or reboot your router, your IP might change (will?). To get around this you can use a service like dyndns.com (I use their free service) and use something like ddclient to update the IP when it is changed.
