[wellylug] Remote login

[Chris Hodgetts]

You will need to pinhole 22 through to the IP of one machine, and 
another port to the other machine..

I personally dont use the standard SSH port on my firewall, as when you 
do I noticed a large increasment in hack attempts to my machine.

I put them on non-standard ports, which seems to have reduced it 
somewhat. (Not an invite either)

As for how to do it on your router, I would look up the terms:

Pinhole
Nat
Port Fowarding

or such like.
