Hi,

My networking knowledge is very much limited. I am sure there is a simple solution to this but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Here the scenario- There's this PC connected to a LAN at my workplace that I would like to 'ssh' into (its a Linux network) from my home PC (over the internet). I have Ubuntu installed at home. Could someone please guide me as to how I can achieve this?

You must configure the router on the remote network to forward a port, then instruct sshd to listen to that port. Open a hole on the remote computer's firewall if necessary.
Then you can ssh to that remote machine by doing "ssh [email protected]".
If the remote network doesn't have a static IP, or if you don't want to type it, you can use a dynamic DNS service like DynDNS.
