As an alternative to the (perfectly good) port forwarding suggestions, what I like to do is actually have an old linux box do the NAT'ing for me, then I can actually ssh to that, and then ssh in to machines on the internal network. The NAT box doesn't need any sort of hardware on it - I was using a 100Mhz Pentium for the longest time. Having your NAT be a linux box allows all sorts of other flexibility, such as better firewall rules and NATing for more complex protocols (like quake). All you have to do is setup the wireless router not to NAT. Just a thought, - Rob .
