Thread: SSH into desktop on remote network

i've run bit of problem attempt remotely admin friend's computer. here's basic layout:

--my ubuntu connected via wireless router, port 22 forwarded properly. can ssh in , out please other hosts.
--across internet, eeebuntu behind router well. port 22 may or may not forwarded. nobody in house knows how access router. (i accept may issue i'll need handle)

i'd do:
first priority, ssh access remote eeebuntu.
assuming remote router not forward port 22, able have remote computer remote forward, local port 10022 remote 10022, allowing me ssh user@localhost:10022 , bypass need access router?

lower priority, prepare bash script friend download require 1 input of root password, , go through full process of installing openssh, setting server, , initiating contact computer. ideal situation allowing friend start computer, run 1 script, type in 1 password, , walk away.

ideas better remote admin options welcome, comments/suggestions has attempted backwards form of ssh access.

if friend runs 'ssh -r10222:localhost:22 yourbox', able connect through tunnel sshd on friend's machine. simplify providing script friend run , desktop icon click run script. if configure system key-based authentication, friend won't have enter password in order connect machine.

script describe seems simple enough way initial configuration done. once it's there, desktop icon idea make things simpler in future.
