Hello Well... I'm not quite an expert about this, but I'd say you either need NAT (network address translation) enabled on your firewalling machine, so your address is masqueraded to the outside. Ssh connects from your machine to the outside would work fine then, but nobody from outside could connect to you... or you might consider setting up an http tunnel through your proxy, although I ain't got no idea how this would work. I'd expect you'd also need the remote system to set up facilities to use this method, but don't ask me... I've never done it.
