If you have sshd running on your home computer you should be able to do
this much more easily.

My home LAN is running behind a NAT firewall. I configured my firewall to
forward ssh connections, port 22, to my linux box. All I then need to know
is my external IP address. So now I can just do ssh -l mouse <home IP>
from any computer and logon to my home machine.

Hope this helps.
