Setting up Linksys WRT54GL for Remote Server

[Hugh Caley]

This will not work unless your two FC8 servers have routeable IP 
addresses.  Generally people with routers like the WRT54GL have only one 
IP address assigned by their ISP and are using NAT to get access to the 
internet for several machines.  You will not be able to connect to both 
machines FROM the internet if that is the case.  The router can route 
traffic for the single IP address to ONE of those machine.  Once you can 
SSH into that machine, you can then SSH from there to the other one.

I suppose you might run SSHD on a different port on one of those 
machines, but that doesn't seem worth the effort, really.
