First you need to go into the D-Link and find out from "status" what

check it again. To get in, use your Web browser and go to the
gateway address (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://192.168.0.1">http://192.168.0.1</a>). D-Link login name and

Give your computer a static IP. I usually use one outside the DHCP
range just in case DHCP gets turned on again later. Your DHCP
range is 100 on up, probably to 150. Lets say you set your PC to
192.168.0.44.
Next, knowing the port you need to forward (see BP posts), set it to
forward both type of traffic for that port to 192.168.0.44. I don't
remember the exact D-Link menus but they'll have it there somewhere.
Now, when you set up the SSH connection from work you tell it
to connect to the WAN IP address reported by your router, not the
192.168.0.44 address which is not routable on the Internet. When
the router gets a request to the forwarded port it will pass that request
through to the computer at address 192.168.0.44. Only the WAN
address of the router is visible from the Internet.

When you say "program a port forward to your computer's IP and address
the router's WAN address from the outside", exactly what do you mean?
