Your ISP is assigning a random address. At both ends. Without some third party to keep track of these addresses, neither end of your setup knows which address to use to get to the other.
Dynamic DNS solves these problems to some extent. Check if your DSL routers have the ability to register with a Dynamic DNS provider. You might be able to get hold of some little utility to do this from your PC, but it's the other end which really needs it. I'm not sure why you think SSH can help. Surely it would have the same problem, not knowing the addresses, as SBS has? Probably, though, the worst that could happen is that someone who knows what you're up to could get access to your SBS and loudly play you Merzbow's greatest hits. -- pallfreeman Always look before you leap.
